 Spring Boot helps you to test your {url-spring-graphql-docs}/controllers.html[Spring GraphQL Controllers] with the javadoc:org.springframework.boot.graphql.test.autoconfigure.GraphQlTest[format=annotation] annotation from the `spring-boot-graphql-test` module.
 javadoc:org.springframework.boot.graphql.test.autoconfigure.GraphQlTest[format=annotation] auto-configures the Spring GraphQL infrastructure, without any transport nor server being involved.
