org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfiguration @ContextConfiguration("/test-config.xml") declares the application context resource locations or the annotated classes that will be used to load the context.

org.springframework.test.context.jdbc.Sql at class level, like in @Sql(scripts = "/preparation-sqls/cleanup-test-data.sql") , to run SQL BEFORE the test execution

org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner (@RunWith(SpringRunner.class) )
