Integration Testing a Mule Application
Tools in Action Abstract
The complexity in a Mule application stems from the potentially complex routing and transformational logic that can be configured. While individual Java classes can be unit tested using standard means, an entire Mule application needs a little more than simple unit testing.
Integration testing, as it is known, is easily done using a specific Mule class - the FunctionalTestCase class which derives from JUnit's TestCase. This simplifies Mule testing and development considerably as it takes care of everything for you. This session explains the use of this class, the methodology behind integration testing a Mule application and demonstrates all this using a simple use-case
