Affects: 5.3.3

The testing chapter mentions the SpringProperties mechanism or API in three places but doesn't explain what the mechanism is. I searched in the core chapter and couldn't find a description there. Apologies if I missed it. I presume it's org.springframework.core.SpringProperties. Perhaps some documentation could be added describing the mechanism or at least a link to the javadoc to help to join the dots?

No, you didn't miss anything. It's simply not documented.

Yes, that's correct.

For the time being, I have linked to the Javadoc for SpringProperties in the Testing chapter, but we may later decide to provide more comprehensive documentation for all Spring properties in the reference manual.

Thanks for the updates, Sam. Would it be better to use the api-spring-framework attribute to avoid hardcoding the whole link each time?

Ummmm.... yes it would!

Thanks for the reminder about that attribute. I'll fix it!
