Anuj Saxena shows how to create unit tests for DStreams in Spark Streaming:
The method ‘ testOperation ‘ takes the output of the operation performed on the ‘inputPair’ and check whether it is equal to the ‘outputPair’ and just like this, we can test our business logic.
This short snippet lets you test your business logic without forcing you to create even a Spark session. You can mock the whole streaming environment and test your business logic easily.
This was a simple example of unary operations on DStreams. Similarly, we can test binary operations and window operations on DStreams.
