Hands-On Reactive Programming in Spring 5

Testing the Reactive Application

So far, we have covered almost everything about reactive programming using Spring 5.x. We have also looked at how to build a clean, asynchronous execution using Project Reactor 3 and how to use that knowledge for building web applications using WebFlux. Moreover, we learned how Reactive Spring Data complements the whole system, and how quickly we can upgrade our application to a cloud level one using Spring Cloud and Spring Cloud Streams.

In this chapter, we will finalize our knowledge base by learning how to test each component in our system. We will cover the testing techniques and utilities that help in the verification code, which is written using Reactor or any library that is compatible with the Reactive ...
