Configure resource deployments for tests using annotations

[jonathanlukas]

Description

In the Camunda 7 test suite, it was possible to create deployments using an annotation. This was quite handy.

For tests, I would like to see an annotation @Deploymentor @TestDeployment (as @Deployment is also used by spring-boot-starter-camunda) that deploys the selected resources on deployment, allows for injection of the deploymentResponse to the test method and (in the future) removes the deployed resources again after the test has been carried out.

ZPA triage:

• Great feature to improve UX in our testing library.
• @jonathanlukas have you encountered any customers/users that have expressed interest in this feature? I'm interested for setting the priority of this issue. As we are a bit low on capacity, it would be useful if you can raise a PR for it as well.
• @aleksander-dytko can you have a look at the priority of this issue?

This issue is feature parity in general. Also, I got the motivation by a customer who will evaluate Camunda 8 in Q3. They are using unit testing extensive in Camunda 7 (Best thing they could do) and missed the annotation ;)

Note

Heads up! We are building a new Java testing library for Camunda 8.6. The new library will replace Zeebe Process Test.
