6. Test Annotations
import ballerina/test;
@test:Config {
before: "beforeTestBar",
after: "afterTestBar",
dependsOn: ["testFunctionPre1", "testFuncctionPre2"],
groups: ["group1"]
}
function testBar() {
// test logic for function bar()
}
7. More Test Annotations & Assertions
import ballerina/test;
@test:BeforeSuite {...} | @test:BeforeEach {...} | @test:AfterSuite
{...}
function testBar() {
// test logic for function bar()
test:assertEquals(actual,greetingExp,msg="string test failed");
test:assertTrue(value,msg="Assert True failed");
test:assertFail("Expected an exception");
}
12. Unit Test with Mock
@test:Mock { packageName: ".", functionName: "intAdd" }
function mockIntAdd(int a, int b)returns int)... { return (a - b); }
@test:Config
function testIntAdd() {
int answer = 0;
answer = intAdd(5, 3);
test:assertEquals(actual,2,msg="mock failed");
}
function intAdd(int a, int b)returns int)... { return (a + b); }
13. Service Test Setup
function startService(){
serviceStarted=test:startServices("hello-service");
}
@test:Config { before: "startService",after: "stopService" }
function testFunc() {
//...
}
function stopService() {
test:stopServices("hello-service");
}
14. Service Test Body
@test:Config { before: "startService",after: "stopService" }
function testFunc() {
endpoint http:Client httpEndpoint { url: "http://localhost:9090" };
test:assertTrue(serviceStarted, msg = "Unable to start the service");
...
match response {
...
test:assertEquals(res, response1);
}
error err => test:assertFail(msg = "Failed to call the endpoint:");
}
}

25. Breaking Things on Purpose
○ Inject something harmful
○ in order to build immunity
○ Chaos engineering
○ "thoughtful, planned experiments
designed to reveal the weakness in our
systems"
○ Testing proactively
○ instead of waiting for an outage
○ "Engineering Chaos" = better name
