Hypermedia APIs provide data and actions, including conditional links, for users based on roles in Spring applications secured by Spring Security.
To test dynamic behavior of hypermedia controls, Spring offers @WithMockUser for simulating authenticated requests and validating visible links based on roles.
Using @WithMockUser in testing, developers can ensure that only authorized users see specific links like 'delete' in RESTful APIs.
The process involves setting up controllers with conditional links, writing tests with @WithMockUser to validate link visibility for different user roles, and following best practices for secure API development.
