Answer 1

The accepted answer didn't work with play 2.5. Also the answer in play 2.6 documentation didn't work for 2.5.
The below worked fine:

Http.MultipartFormData.FilePart part = new Http.MultipartFormData.FilePart("fileKey",
                "abc.zip", "multipart/form-data",
                FileIO.fromFile(new File("/home/testData/abc.zip")));
List>> data = Arrays.asList(part);
Http.RequestBuilder requestBuilder = AuthFakeRequest.getAuthFakeRequest(routes.MyController.uploadZip()).method(POST)
                .bodyMultipart(data, mat);
Result result = route(app, requestBuilder);

For mat and app objects they are obtained when inheriting play.test.WithApplication class.
