> It is a common way that developers programmatically register beans into context specially in testing rather than reading bean definitions from external configuration sources, in this case, you need to use StaticApplicationContext.
> As far as my experience concerned, there are some circumstances that you need to have populated context when you are testing
> 1. for registering mock objects into context 
> let's assume we inject a DAO into a service and we want to mock DAO then test our service 
> {code:title=Bar.java|borderStyle=solid}
> public class MockTest(){
>   @Mock
>   Dao dao;
>   public void testMethod(){
>    ctx.getBeanFactory().registerSingleton(dao.getClass().getName(), dao);
>   }
> }
> {code} 
> 2. for specifying classes not packages
> sometimes you need to create a spring context by only some specific classes from different packages not the whole packages.
> It might be good idea to have an annotation ClassToScan({}) to define whcih classes, you want to scan
