anchor.diff:  The goal of __Spring MVC Test__ is to provide an effective way of testing controllers
   by performing requests and generating responses through the `DispatcherServlet`.
   
  -__Spring MVC Test__ builds on the familiar "mock" implementations of the Servlet API
  -available in the `spring-test` module. This allows performing requests and generating
  -responses without the need for running in a Servlet container. For the most part
  -everything should work as it does at runtime with a few notable exceptions as
  -explained in <<spring-mvc-test-vs-end-to-end-integration-tests>>.

  [TIP]
  ====
  To test your Spring MVC ++Controller++s, use `ModelAndViewAssert` combined with
  `MockHttpServletRequest`, `MockHttpSession`, and so on from the <<mock-objects-servlet,
  `org.springframework.mock.web`>> package.
  
  Note: As of Spring 4.0, the set of mocks in the `org.springframework.mock.web` package
  is now based on the Servlet 3.0 API.

  ==== Servlet API
  The `org.springframework.mock.web` package contains a comprehensive set of Servlet API
  mock objects, which are useful for testing web contexts, controllers, and filters. These
  mock objects are targeted at usage with Spring's Web MVC framework and are generally more
  convenient to use than dynamic mock objects such as http://www.easymock.org[EasyMock] or
  alternative Servlet API mock objects such as http://www.mockobjects.com[MockObjects]. As of
  Spring Framework 4.0, the set of mocks in the `org.springframework.mock.web` package is
  based on the Servlet 3.0 API.
  
  For thorough integration testing of your Spring MVC and REST ++Controller++s in
  conjunction with your `WebApplicationContext` configuration for Spring MVC, see the
  <<spring-mvc-test-framework,_Spring MVC Test Framework_>>.
