Hi Harit, the Java API is feature-complete (as all our Java APIs) - you can do anything you might possibly need in plain Java.
The note speaks about the conciseness of the code - we find that tests written in Scala are much more readable because of how we can utilise the language to provide a better DSL for testing. Like mentioned already, this is an “API niceness” thing, both APIs are on-par and support everything you might need. (See examples here: http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/java/testing.html#Asynchronous_Integration_Testing_with_JavaTestKit ) Happy hakking! -- Cheers, Konrad 'ktoso’ Malawski Akka @ Typesafe On 23 April 2015 at 06:34:05, Harit Himanshu ([email protected]) wrote: The documentation for Java quotes Note: Due to the conciseness of test DSLs available for Scala(ScalaTest,Specs2,ScalaCheck),it may be a good idea to write the test suite in that language even if the main project is written in Java. If that is not desirable, you can also use TestKit and friends from Java, albeit with more verbose syntax which is covered below. Munish Gupta has published a nice post showing several patterns you may find useful. Is it still true? I am a Java Developer but very much believe in writing test for my code for two reasons To make sure I understand the behavior of underlying library used To make sure the business logic behaves as expected So my question is if TestKit for Java does not have enough support to test Actors or Akka Application in general. For example, I want to build a application which is supervised and kill one of the child and assert Supervisor hears about it and take action as expected. Am I expecting too much? :) Very new to akka and trying to get my head around Thanks + Harit -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: >>>>>>>>>> http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html >>>>>>>>>> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.
