You could parameterize the (parent) actors with a function which creates child actors (and returns refs). For "normal mode” provide a function that creates the actual child actors, for testing inject a TestProbe.ref.
Alternatively you can achieve the same with a protected factory method for child actors which you have to override for testing.
