It configures a Spring test context for controller testing.
@WebMvcTest is used when you want to focus on testing your Spring MVC controllers. It loads a limited part of the application context, which speeds up tests and ensures that you're only testing the web layer. For example, in an e-commerce application, you might use @WebMvcTest to test order controllers without loading services or repositories.
