OncewehaveutilizedaJavaComponentinAnypointStudio,thenextchallengeis:
Howdowetestit?
Fortestingpurposes,wecanuseMUnit.MUnitisaMuleapplicationtestingframeworkwhichallows
ustoeasilybuildautomatedtests.WithMUnit,wecancreateMuletestsbywritingcommonJavacode,
slightlysimilartoJunit.Naturally,itismorecomfortableforJavadevelopers.
Topracticethis,wecanuseanyJavaclassinanyAnypointproject.However,itissuggestedtofollow
theexampleinthepreviouspost:MuleSoft:MethodEntryPointResolver,astheJavacodeexamplein

1.OpenPackageExplorer,thenrightclickonsrc/test/java.Choose:New>>Class.
2.SetthePackageas:com.mulesoft.training
3.SettheNameas:MathOperationTest
4.SettheSuperclassas:org.mule.tck.junit4.FunctionalTestCase

BeforecompletingourTestclass,thefirstthingthatwehavetodoisspecifytheconfigurationfiletobe

Bychoosingthisapproachwecantestthespecificfunction.Ifrequired,wecantesttheflowtomake
sureitsbehaviorisappropriate.Forthispurpose,addthissnippetintothecurrentTestclass:
1

@Test

publicvoidtestFlow()throwsException{

MuleEventevent=runFlow("mathoperationFlow","4");

MuleMessagemessage=event.getMessage();

assertNotNull(message);

assertNotNull(message.getPayload());

assertEquals("16.0",message.getPayload());

Here,weutilizerunFlowtocalltheflowbyitsname,andsendthepayloadasasecondargument.The
behavioroftherestofthecodeissimilarwhenwerunMuleondebugmode.Wecanevaluatethe
message,payload,etc.
Anotherapproachtotestourintegrationprojectistestingtheinboundendpoint.Itsimulatesthereal
executionoftheflowbyusingMuleClienttointeractwiththerunningMuleserver.Basically,thereare
manyoptionsforthisinteraction.Inthisexample,wespecifytheURLasthefirstargument,the
payloadasthesecondargument,andsetnullformessageproperties(itisnotneededinthisexample)
asthethirdargument.
