Test kafka based backend application using the Confluent platform?

Question

how the functional testcases are written for backend applications which is based on pub-sub model? Any example please?

I tried using confluent platform to test kafka producer & consumers but I wasn’t able to configure topic in confluent.

Answer 1

Confluent Platform is not a requirement for Spring-Kafka testing. I suggest you follow the Spring docs on how to test your app, and start with the mocks for unit testing rather than actually needing any Kafka infrastructure.
