- [Instructor] Ever wonder how to test a hard problem, like caching? We use the cache, to protect the database or to avoid cost-intensive calculations. And spring provides an abstraction layer, for implementing a cache. But how do we ensure, that our cache is really working as expected? What we need is to ensure in cases, when we are retrieving the same student from our service, we want to verify we are not hitting the database, every single time. We will start, by creating a new test class. And we will call it Student Cache Test. Let's create new test method, and name it, Gets Students By ID, for multiple requests, is retrieved from cache. In the given part, we will create some random student ID. We need to inject student service in our test, and in the Web part, simulate, multiple requests to the service layer, by calling Gets Students By ID, multiple times for the same student ID. Since we need to test interaction with a repository, this means, we need the kind of way to check how…
