You can Mock SpringApplication since that is a dependency of the method under test. See how here. I.e.

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest;
import org.powermock.modules.junit4.PowerMockRunner;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;

import static org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito.mockStatic;
import static org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito.verifyStatic;

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
public class ElectronicGiftcardServiceApplicationTest {

    @Test
    @PrepareForTest(SpringApplication.class)
    public void main() {
        mockStatic(SpringApplication.class);
        ElectronicGiftcardServiceApplication.main(new String[]{"Hello", "World"});
        verifyStatic(SpringApplication.class);
        SpringApplication.run(ElectronicGiftcardServiceApplication.class, new String[]{"Hello", "World"});
    }

}
