How do I test event bus implementations effectively?

To test event bus implementations, you can use unit tests to verify message handling and integration tests for end-to-end scenarios.

What tools can I use for testing event buses?

You can use tools like JUnit for Java, Mocha for Node.js, or pytest for Python to create your tests.

Can you give me an example of a unit test for an event bus?

Sure! Here's a simple example in Java:

@Test
public void testEventBus() {
    EventBus bus = new EventBus();
    bus.register(new EventListener());
    bus.post(new MyEvent());
    // Assert that the event was handled correctly
}

What are common pitfalls when testing event buses?

Common pitfalls include not isolating tests, failing to mock dependencies, and not testing for concurrency issues.
