-----------------------------
Summary: Document testing guidelines
Key: FLINK-26845
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-26845
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Stateful Functions
Reporter: Salva
As of now, there seems to be not much guidance on how to approach testing.
Although it's true [~sjwiesman] that
{quote}Unlike other flink apis, the sdk doesn’t pull in the runtime so testing
should really look like any other code. There isn’t much statefun specific.

I think that at the very least testing should be mentioned as part of the docs,
even if is only to stress the above fact. Indeed, as reported by [~trohrmann],
there seems that there are already some test utilities in place but they are
not well-documented, plus some potential ideas on how to improve on that front:
{quote}Testing tools is definitely one area where we want to improve
significantly. Also the documentation for how to do things needs to be updated.
There are some testing utils that you can already use today:
[https://github.com/apache/flink-statefun/blob/master/statefun-sdk-java/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/statefun/sdk/java/testing/TestContext.java…|https://t.co/WGjyMA510b].
However, it is not well documented.

Once the overall guidelines are in place we can extend the examples to include
some tests (also in the playground repository).
