如果您使用CompletableFuture(在Java 8中引入)或SettableFuture(来自谷歌Guava)，您可以在测试完成后立即完成测试，而不是等待预先设置的时间。你的测试应该是这样的:

CompletableFuture<String> future = new CompletableFuture<>();
executorService.submit(new Runnable() {         
    @Override
    public void run() {
        future.complete("Hello World!");                
    }
});
assertEquals("Hello World!", future.get());

注意，有一个库为pre Java-8提供了CompletableFuture，它甚至使用了相同的名称(并提供了所有相关的Java-8类)，例如: net.sourceforge.streamsupport: streamsupport-minifuture: 1.7.4 这对于Android开发很有用，即使我们使用JDK-v11构建，我们也希望保持代码与前Android-7设备兼容。

JUnit 5有断言。assertTimeout(Duration, Executable)/ asserttimeoutpreempemptive()(请阅读每个的Javadoc以了解差异)和Mockito有verify(mock, timeout(毫秒).times(x))。

Assertions.assertTimeout(Duration.ofMillis(1000), () -> 
    myReactiveService.doSth().subscribe()
);

And:

Mockito.verify(myReactiveService, 
    timeout(1000).times(0)).doSth(); // cannot use never() here

管道中的超时可能是不确定的/脆弱的。所以要小心。

我更喜欢使用等待和通知。它简单明了。

@Test
public void test() throws Throwable {
    final boolean[] asyncExecuted = {false};
    final Throwable[] asyncThrowable= {null};

    // do anything async
    new Thread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            try {
                // Put your test here.
                fail(); 
            }
            // lets inform the test thread that there is an error.
            catch (Throwable throwable){
                asyncThrowable[0] = throwable;
            }
            // ensure to release asyncExecuted in case of error.
            finally {
                synchronized (asyncExecuted){
                    asyncExecuted[0] = true;
                    asyncExecuted.notify();
                }
            }
        }
    }).start();

    // Waiting for the test is complete
    synchronized (asyncExecuted){
        while(!asyncExecuted[0]){
            asyncExecuted.wait();
        }
    }

    // get any async error, including exceptions and assertationErrors
    if(asyncThrowable[0] != null){
        throw asyncThrowable[0];
    }
}

基本上，我们需要创建一个最终的数组引用，在匿名内部类中使用。我宁愿创建一个布尔[]，因为如果我们需要wait()，我可以设置一个值来控制。当一切都完成后，我们只需释放asyncExecuted。

启动进程并使用Future等待结果。

如果你想测试逻辑，不要异步测试。

例如，测试这段代码，它对异步方法的结果起作用。

public class Example {
    private Dependency dependency;

    public Example(Dependency dependency) {
        this.dependency = dependency;            
    }

    public CompletableFuture<String> someAsyncMethod(){
        return dependency.asyncMethod()
                .handle((r,ex) -> {
                    if(ex != null) {
                        return "got exception";
                    } else {
                        return r.toString();
                    }
                });
    }
}

public class Dependency {
    public CompletableFuture<Integer> asyncMethod() {
        // do some async stuff       
    }
}

在测试中模拟使用同步实现的依赖关系。单元测试是完全同步的，运行时间为150毫秒。

public class DependencyTest {
    private Example sut;
    private Dependency dependency;

    public void setup() {
        dependency = Mockito.mock(Dependency.class);;
        sut = new Example(dependency);
    }

    @Test public void success() throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException {
        when(dependency.asyncMethod()).thenReturn(CompletableFuture.completedFuture(5));

        // When
        CompletableFuture<String> result = sut.someAsyncMethod();

        // Then
        assertThat(result.isCompletedExceptionally(), is(equalTo(false)));
        String value = result.get();
        assertThat(value, is(equalTo("5")));
    }

    @Test public void failed() throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException {
        // Given
        CompletableFuture<Integer> c = new CompletableFuture<Integer>();
        c.completeExceptionally(new RuntimeException("failed"));
        when(dependency.asyncMethod()).thenReturn(c);

        // When
        CompletableFuture<String> result = sut.someAsyncMethod();

        // Then
        assertThat(result.isCompletedExceptionally(), is(equalTo(false)));
        String value = result.get();
        assertThat(value, is(equalTo("got exception")));
    }
}

你不测试异步行为，但你可以测试逻辑是否正确。

对于测试异步方法，我发现一个非常有用的方法是在测试对象的构造函数中注入Executor实例。在生产中，执行器实例被配置为异步运行，而在测试中，它可以被模拟为同步运行。

所以假设我试图测试异步方法Foo#doAsync(Callback c)，

class Foo {
  private final Executor executor;
  public Foo(Executor executor) {
    this.executor = executor;
  }

  public void doAsync(Callback c) {
    executor.execute(new Runnable() {
      @Override public void run() {
        // Do stuff here
        c.onComplete(data);
      }
    });
  }
}

在生产中，我会用Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor() Executor实例构造Foo，而在测试中，我可能会用执行以下操作的同步执行器构造它

class SynchronousExecutor implements Executor {
  @Override public void execute(Runnable r) {
    r.run();
  }
}

现在异步方法的JUnit测试非常干净

@Test public void testDoAsync() {
  Executor executor = new SynchronousExecutor();
  Foo objectToTest = new Foo(executor);

  Callback callback = mock(Callback.class);
  objectToTest.doAsync(callback);

  // Verify that Callback#onComplete was called using Mockito.
  verify(callback).onComplete(any(Data.class));

  // Assert that we got back the data that we expected.
  assertEquals(expectedData, callback.getData());
}
