我喜欢编写两个或多个测试方法在并行线程上执行，并且每个方法都调用被测对象。我一直在使用Sleep()调用来协调来自不同线程的调用顺序，但这并不真正可靠。它也慢得多，因为你必须睡足够长的时间，时间通常是有效的。

我从编写FindBugs的同一组中找到了多线程TC Java库。它允许您在不使用Sleep()的情况下指定事件的顺序，而且它是可靠的。我还没试过。

这种方法的最大限制是它只允许您测试您怀疑会引起麻烦的场景。正如其他人所说，您确实需要将多线程代码隔离到少量简单类中，以便有希望彻底测试它们。

一旦您仔细测试了您预计会导致问题的场景，那么在类中抛出一堆并发请求的不科学测试是寻找意外问题的好方法。

更新:我已经玩了一些多线程TC Java库，它工作得很好。我还将它的一些特性移植到一个。net版本，我称之为TickingTest。

近年来，在为几个项目编写线程处理代码时，我多次遇到过这个问题。我提供了一个迟来的答案，因为大多数其他答案虽然提供了替代方案，但实际上并没有回答关于测试的问题。我的答案是针对多线程代码没有替代方案的情况;为了完整性，我将讨论代码设计问题，但也将讨论单元测试。

编写可测试的多线程代码

首先要做的是将生产线程处理代码与所有执行实际数据处理的代码分开。这样，数据处理就可以作为单线程代码进行测试，多线程代码所做的唯一事情就是协调线程。

The second thing to remember is that bugs in multithreaded code are probabilistic; the bugs that manifest themselves least frequently are the bugs that will sneak through into production, will be difficult to reproduce even in production, and will thus cause the biggest problems. For this reason, the standard coding approach of writing the code quickly and then debugging it until it works is a bad idea for multithreaded code; it will result in code where the easy bugs are fixed and the dangerous bugs are still there.

相反，在编写多线程代码时，必须抱着一种从一开始就避免编写错误的态度来编写代码。如果您已经正确地删除了数据处理代码，线程处理代码应该足够小——最好只有几行，最坏也就几十行——这样您就有机会在不编写错误的情况下编写它，当然也不会编写很多错误，如果您了解线程，请慢慢来，并且小心。

为多线程代码编写单元测试

一旦尽可能仔细地编写了多线程代码，仍然值得为该代码编写测试。测试的主要目的与其说是测试高度依赖于时间的竞争条件错误(不可能重复测试这种竞争条件)，不如说是测试防止这种错误的锁定策略是否允许多个线程按预期进行交互。

To properly test correct locking behavior, a test must start multiple threads. To make the test repeatable, we want the interactions between the threads to happen in a predictable order. We don't want to externally synchronize the threads in the test, because that will mask bugs that could happen in production where the threads are not externally synchronized. That leaves the use of timing delays for thread synchronization, which is the technique that I have used successfully whenever I've had to write tests of multithreaded code.

If the delays are too short, then the test becomes fragile, because minor timing differences - say between different machines on which the tests may be run - may cause the timing to be off and the test to fail. What I've typically done is start with delays that cause test failures, increase the delays so that the test passes reliably on my development machine, and then double the delays beyond that so the test has a good chance of passing on other machines. This does mean that the test will take a macroscopic amount of time, though in my experience, careful test design can limit that time to no more than a dozen seconds. Since you shouldn't have very many places requiring thread coordination code in your application, that should be acceptable for your test suite.

Finally, keep track of the number of bugs caught by your test. If your test has 80% code coverage, it can be expected to catch about 80% of your bugs. If your test is well designed but finds no bugs, there's a reasonable chance that you don't have additional bugs that will only show up in production. If the test catches one or two bugs, you might still get lucky. Beyond that, and you may want to consider a careful review of or even a complete rewrite of your thread handling code, since it is likely that code still contains hidden bugs that will be very difficult to find until the code is in production, and very difficult to fix then.

确实很难!在我的(c++)单元测试中，我按照使用的并发模式将其分解为几个类别:

Unit tests for classes that operate in a single thread and aren't thread aware -- easy, test as usual. Unit tests for Monitor objects (those that execute synchronized methods in the callers' thread of control) that expose a synchronized public API -- instantiate multiple mock threads that exercise the API. Construct scenarios that exercise internal conditions of the passive object. Include one longer running test that basically beats the heck out of it from multiple threads for a long period of time. This is unscientific I know but it does build confidence. Unit tests for Active objects (those that encapsulate their own thread or threads of control) -- similar to #2 above with variations depending on the class design. Public API may be blocking or non-blocking, callers may obtain futures, data may arrive at queues or need to be dequeued. There are many combinations possible here; white box away. Still requires multiple mock threads to make calls to the object under test.

题外话:

在我所做的内部开发人员培训中，我教授了并发的支柱和这两种模式，作为思考和分解并发问题的主要框架。显然还有更先进的概念，但我发现这组基础知识可以帮助工程师摆脱困境。正如上面所描述的，它还会导致代码更具单元可测试性。

有一篇关于这个主题的文章，在示例代码中使用Rust作为语言:

https://medium.com/@polyglot_factotum/rust-concurrency-five-easy-pieces-871f1c62906a

总而言之，诀窍在于编写并发逻辑，使其对涉及多个执行线程的非确定性具有健壮性，使用通道和condvars等工具。

然后，如果这就是您构建“组件”的方式，那么测试它们的最简单方法是使用通道向它们发送消息，然后阻塞其他通道以断言组件发送某些预期的消息。

链接到的文章完全使用单元测试编写。

我曾经有过测试线程代码的不幸任务，这绝对是我写过的最难的测试。

在编写测试时，我使用委托和事件的组合。基本上，它都是关于使用PropertyNotifyChanged事件和WaitCallback或某种轮询的ConditionalWaiter。

我不确定这是否是最好的方法，但它对我来说是有效的。

为自定义Barrier设计一个Test类

它偏向于Java，但对选项进行了合理的总结。

总而言之(我认为)，它不是使用一些花哨的框架来确保正确性，而是如何设计你的多线程代码。拆分关注点(并发性和功能性)有助于提高信心。测试引导的面向对象软件的发展比我能更好地解释一些选项。

静态分析和形式化方法(参见并发性:状态模型和Java程序)是一种选择，但我发现它们在商业开发中用处有限。

不要忘记，任何加载/浸泡风格的测试都很少能保证突出问题。

好运！
