System and method for supporting a testing framework for an event processing system using multiple input event streams

摘要

Systems and methods can use a testing framework for testing an event processing system. The testing framework operates to send a plurality of input events in multiple event streams to an event processing system, wherein each said input event is associated with a timestamp. Also, the testing framework prescribes one or more expected output events that correspond to said plurality of input events in multiple event streams, wherein each said expected output event is associated with a timestamp. Furthermore, the testing framework can use said one or more expected output events to verify one or more actual output events that are received from the event processing system, wherein each said actual output event is associated with a timestamp.
