SpringBootTest (Spring Boot API)

```
@Target(TYPE)
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Documented
@Inherited
@BootstrapWith(SpringBootTestContextBootstrapper.class)
public @interface SpringBootTest
```
Annotation that can be specified on a test class that runs Spring Boot based tests. Provides the following features over and above the regular Spring TestContext Framework:
- Uses SpringBootContextLoader as the default ContextLoader when no specific @ContextConfiguration(loader=...) is defined.
- Automatically searches for a @SpringBootConfiguration when nested @Configuration is not used, and no explicit classes are specified.
- Allows custom Environment properties to be defined using the properties attribute.
- Provides support for different webEnvironment modes, including the ability to start a fully running container listening on a defined or random port.
- Registers a TestRestTemplate bean for use in web tests that are using a fully running container.
Since:
1.4.0
