Answer 1

You could use spring security testing classes to test form based login. You need to do the following to test form based login.

Maven dependency:

    org.springframework.security
    spring-security-test
    4.0.0.M1
    test



    
        spring-snasphot
        https://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot
    

Test class:

import static org.springframework.security.test.web.servlet.request.SecurityMockMvcRequestBuilders.formLogin;

RequestBuilder requestBuilder = formLogin().user("username").password("passowrd");
mockMvc.perform(requestBuilder)
    .andDo(print())
    .andExpect(status().isOk())
    .andExpect(cookie().exists("JSESSIONID"));
