 In most cases, you do not have to specify the `Content-Type` for each part.
 The content type is determined automatically based on the `HttpMessageConverter` chosen to serialize it or, in the case of a `Resource`, based on the file extension.
 If necessary, you can explicitly provide the `MediaType` with an `HttpEntity` wrapper.

-Once the `MultiValueMap` is ready, you can use it as the body of a `POST` request, using `RestClient.post().body(parts)` (or `RestTemplate.postForObject`).
+Once the `MultiValueMap` is ready, you can use it as the body of a `POST` request, using  `RestClient.post().body(parts)` (or `RestTemplate.postForObject`).

 If the `MultiValueMap` contains at least one non-`String` value, the `Content-Type` is set to `multipart/form-data` by the `FormHttpMessageConverter`.
 If the `MultiValueMap` has `String` values, the `Content-Type` defaults to `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`.

 = Testing Client Applications

-To test code that uses the `RestClient` or `RestTemplate`, you can use a mock web server, such as
-https://github.com/square/okhttp#mockwebserver[OkHttp MockWebServer] or
-https://wiremock.org/[WireMock]. Mock web servers accept requests over HTTP like a regular
-server, and that means you can test with the same HTTP client that is also configured in
-the same way as in production, which is important because there are often subtle
-differences in the way different clients handle network I/O. Another advantage of mock
-web servers is the ability to simulate specific network issues and conditions at the
-transport level, in combination with the client used in production.
-
-In addition to dedicated mock web servers, historically the Spring Framework has provided
-a built-in option to test `RestClient` or `RestTemplate` through `MockRestServiceServer`.
-This relies on configuring the client under test with a custom `ClientHttpRequestFactory`
-backed by the mock server that is in turn set up to expect requests and send "`stub`"
-responses so that you can focus on testing the code in isolation, without running a server.
-
-TIP: `MockRestServiceServer` predates the existence of mock web servers. At present, we
-recommend using mock web servers for more complete testing of the transport layer and
-network conditions.
-

+This section describes the various classes that support the Spring TestContext Framework.

+[[testcontext-junit4-runner]]
+== Spring JUnit 4 Runner
+
+The Spring TestContext Framework offers full integration with JUnit 4 through a custom
+runner (supported on JUnit 4.12 or higher). By annotating test classes with
+`@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)` or the shorter `@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)`
+variant, developers can implement standard JUnit 4-based unit and integration tests and
+simultaneously reap the benefits of the TestContext framework, such as support for
+loading application contexts, dependency injection of test instances, transactional test
+method execution, and so on. If you want to use the Spring TestContext Framework with an
+alternative runner (such as JUnit 4's `Parameterized` runner) or third-party runners
+(such as the `MockitoJUnitRunner`), you can, optionally, use
+xref:testing/testcontext-framework/support-classes.adoc#testcontext-junit4-rules[Spring's support for JUnit rules] instead.
+
+The following code listing shows the minimal requirements for configuring a test class to
+run with the custom Spring `Runner`:
+
+[tabs]
+======
+Java::
+
+[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
+	@TestExecutionListeners({})
+	public class SimpleTest {
+
+		@Test
+		public void testMethod() {
+			// test logic...
+		}
+	}

+	@RunWith(SpringRunner::class)
+	@TestExecutionListeners
+	class SimpleTest {
+
+		@Test
+		fun testMethod() {
+			// test logic...
+		}
+	}
+----
+======
+
+In the preceding example, `@TestExecutionListeners` is configured with an empty list, to
+disable the default listeners, which otherwise would require an `ApplicationContext` to
+be configured through `@ContextConfiguration`.
+
+[[testcontext-junit4-rules]]
+== Spring JUnit 4 Rules
+
+The `org.springframework.test.context.junit4.rules` package provides the following JUnit
+4 rules (supported on JUnit 4.12 or higher):
+
+* `SpringClassRule`
+* `SpringMethodRule`
+
+`SpringClassRule` is a JUnit `TestRule` that supports class-level features of the Spring
+TestContext Framework, whereas `SpringMethodRule` is a JUnit `MethodRule` that supports
+instance-level and method-level features of the Spring TestContext Framework.
+
+In contrast to the `SpringRunner`, Spring's rule-based JUnit support has the advantage of
+being independent of any `org.junit.runner.Runner` implementation and can, therefore, be
+combined with existing alternative runners (such as JUnit 4's `Parameterized`) or
+third-party runners (such as the `MockitoJUnitRunner`).
+
+To support the full functionality of the TestContext framework, you must combine a
+`SpringClassRule` with a `SpringMethodRule`. The following example shows the proper way
+to declare these rules in an integration test:
+
+[tabs]

+
+[[testcontext-support-classes-junit4]]
+== JUnit 4 Support Classes
+
+The `org.springframework.test.context.junit4` package provides the following support
+classes for JUnit 4-based test cases (supported on JUnit 4.12 or higher):
+
+* `AbstractJUnit4SpringContextTests`
+* `AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests`
+
+`AbstractJUnit4SpringContextTests` is an abstract base test class that integrates the
+Spring TestContext Framework with explicit `ApplicationContext` testing support in a
+JUnit 4 environment. When you extend `AbstractJUnit4SpringContextTests`, you can access a
+`protected` `applicationContext` instance variable that you can use to perform explicit
+bean lookups or to test the state of the context as a whole.
+
+`AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests` is an abstract transactional extension of
+`AbstractJUnit4SpringContextTests` that adds some convenience functionality for JDBC
+access. This class expects a `javax.sql.DataSource` bean and a
+`PlatformTransactionManager` bean to be defined in the `ApplicationContext`. When you
+extend `AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests`, you can access a `protected`
+`jdbcTemplate` instance variable that you can use to run SQL statements to query the
+database. You can use such queries to confirm database state both before and after
+running database-related application code, and Spring ensures that such queries run in
+the scope of the same transaction as the application code. When used in conjunction with
+an ORM tool, be sure to avoid xref:testing/testcontext-framework/tx.adoc#testcontext-tx-false-positives[false positives].
+As mentioned in xref:testing/support-jdbc.adoc[JDBC Testing Support],
+`AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests` also provides convenience methods that
+delegate to methods in `JdbcTestUtils` by using the aforementioned `jdbcTemplate`.
+Furthermore, `AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests` provides an
+`executeSqlScript(..)` method for running SQL scripts against the configured `DataSource`.
+
+TIP: These classes are a convenience for extension. If you do not want your test classes
+to be tied to a Spring-specific class hierarchy, you can configure your own custom test
+classes by using `@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)` or xref:testing/testcontext-framework/support-classes.adoc#testcontext-junit4-rules[Spring's JUnit rules]

-
-The Spring TestContext Framework offers full integration with JUnit 4 through a custom
-runner (supported on JUnit 4.12 or higher). By annotating test classes with
-`@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)` or the shorter `@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)`

-simultaneously reap the benefits of the TestContext framework, such as support for
-loading application contexts, dependency injection of test instances, transactional test

-
-* `SpringClassRule`
-* `SpringMethodRule`
-
-`SpringClassRule` is a JUnit `TestRule` that supports class-level features of the Spring

-In contrast to the `SpringRunner`, Spring's rule-based JUnit support has the advantage of

-
-* `AbstractJUnit4SpringContextTests`
-* `AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests`
-
-`AbstractJUnit4SpringContextTests` is an abstract base test class that integrates the
-Spring TestContext Framework with explicit `ApplicationContext` testing support in a
-JUnit 4 environment. When you extend `AbstractJUnit4SpringContextTests`, you can access a
-`protected` `applicationContext` instance variable that you can use to perform explicit
-bean lookups or to test the state of the context as a whole.
-
-`AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests` is an abstract transactional extension of
-`AbstractJUnit4SpringContextTests` that adds some convenience functionality for JDBC
-access. This class expects a `javax.sql.DataSource` bean and a
-`PlatformTransactionManager` bean to be defined in the `ApplicationContext`. When you
-extend `AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests`, you can access a `protected`
-`jdbcTemplate` instance variable that you can use to run SQL statements to query the
-database. You can use such queries to confirm database state both before and after
-running database-related application code, and Spring ensures that such queries run in
-the scope of the same transaction as the application code. When used in conjunction with

-delegate to methods in `JdbcTestUtils` by using the aforementioned `jdbcTemplate`.
-Furthermore, `AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests` provides an
-`executeSqlScript(..)` method for running SQL scripts against the configured `DataSource`.

-to be tied to a Spring-specific class hierarchy, you can configure your own custom test
