1⃣ Should I write more Unit test or Integration Tests?
2⃣ Should I use Mockito or In-Memory Implementations for testing?
3⃣ Should I aim for 100% Test Coverage?
4⃣ How to enforce a common coding style in a team?

I have shared my thoughts on these here 👇

How about creating an MCP Server for Spring Initializr?

Developers can describe what kind of application they are planning to build in plain English and the MCP Server can generate the application with all the necessary dependencies!!!
