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