• MockMvc (@WebMvcTest) tests the web layer without a real server: fast, services mocked.
• Real HTTP tests (@SpringBootTest with a random port) test the whole stack, including security, serialization, and the database.
• Use MockMvc for controller rules (validation, status codes, mapping); use real HTTP for journeys.
• Mix both; most endpoint rules in MockMvc, a few journeys in full tests.
• Both can use Testcontainers if the database is involved.
