Some functions, like a timer-triggered function are, easy to trigger, while others--functions that listen on a particular event, especially, a cloud-based event, are harder to trigger. For this reason, to perform execution testing, we will sometimes need to write additional code that is responsible for either creating or simulating the particular event the function is listening for.

As mentioned earlier, along with the expected success scenario, it is important to simulate common errors like incorrect input or inaccessible third-party API, and make sure that ...
