+
+A Pulsar Function at its core is just a function with inputs and outputs, thus
testing a Pulsar Function can be done in a similar way as testing any function.
+
+For example, if a user has the following Pulsar Function:
+
+```java
+import java.util.function.Function;
+
+public class JavaNativeExclamationFunction implements Function<String, String>
{
+ @Override
+ public String apply(String input) {
+ return String.format("%s!", input);
+ }
+}
+```
+
+The user can write a simple unit test to test this Pulsar function:
+
+```java
+@Test
+public void testJavaNativeExclamationFunction() {
+ JavaNativeExclamationFunction exclamation = new
JavaNativeExclamationFunction();
+ String output = exclamation.apply("foo");
+ Assert.assertEquals(output, "foo!");
+}
+```
+
+Consequently, if a user has a Pulsar Function that implements the
```org.apache.pulsar.functions.api.Function``` interface:
+
+```java
+import org.apache.pulsar.functions.api.Context;
+import org.apache.pulsar.functions.api.Function;
+
+public class ExclamationFunction implements Function<String, String> {
+ @Override
+ public String process(String input, Context context) {
+ return String.format("%s!", input);
+ }
+}
+```
+
+The user can write a unit test for this function as well. Just be remember to
mock out the ```Context``` parameter.
+
+For example:
+
+```java
+@Test
+public void testExclamationFunction() {
+ ExclamationFunction exclamation = new ExclamationFunction();
+ String output = exclamation.process("foo", mock(Context.class));
+ Assert.assertEquals(output, "foo!");
+}
+```
