Alternatives When Testing Asynchronous Messaging?
Hi,
Ok - when testing an API that utilises a nonblocking comms pattern (asynch messaging) - you don't get responses to assert against.
Before now - I've always had the developers create an additional 'test API' that hooks into API (that doesn't return a response) so I get a response back to assert against.
However - I've been looking through some old posts and the testing of Asynch message exchange patterns people use MockServices/VIRTs and I don't understand how this works.
Can anyone elaborate on this or explain how they test against APIs that use asynch comms?
Cheers!

Hi richie,
Can you give some examples of posts which you refer to and provide some more details about your requirement?
