I agree with Bob on this and feel strongly that using sleep statements like 
this result in non-deterministic tests.  
I haven't really looked at the ActionScheduler to provide you a solution but 
can give some genral comments on testing of this nature.
- If you can run the test in a single thread, that is always best.  For 
example, sometimes it is possible to call run directly.
- If a separate thread must be used, it is best to have a deterministic way to 
determine if a task has completed.  For example, if you have access to the task 
perhaps it has state that can be queried.
- If you must use another thread and have no way to determine with certainty 
that a task has completed, use a "wait for" approach.  The idea is that you 
have a loop that does an assertion every couple of ms.  You keep looping until 
the assertion holds or until you "timeout" and fail the test.  The timeout 
should be rather long since it is only applicable in the case of a test 
failure. For the successful scenario, the test will not block for long sine we 
are checking the condition in small intervals.
