Audio N/AQuick interview answer
Test CompletableFuture Composition with unit checks for the happy path, integration tests for real I/O boundaries, and load/chaos checks so regressions show up before prod. Core idea: Logic: supplyAsync runs async task; thenApply transforms; thenCompose flattens nested futures; allOf waits for batch. Exceptionally/handle for error paths.
Detailed answer
Interview answer for testing CompletableFuture Composition: 1) Unit: isolate the pure logic behind CompletableFuture Composition with deterministic fixtures. 2) Integration: exercise real timers/I/O/network boundaries the way production does. 3) Load & soak: prove the event path still meets SLOs under concurrency. 4) Failure injection: break dependencies and assert recovery/backpressure. Best practices to include: Specify executor for IO; use orTimeout/join with timeout in Java 9+. Call out mistakes: Blocking get() on async chain in request thread; lost exceptions without handle. Parent context: Logic: supplyAsync runs async task; thenApply transforms; thenCompose flattens nested futures; allOf waits for batch. Exceptionally/handle for error paths.
Full explanation
Interviewers want a test strategy, not “I would write tests.” Tie each layer back to how CompletableFuture Composition fails: correctness, latency, and starvation. supplyAsync runs async task; thenApply transforms; thenCompose flattens nested futures; allOf waits for batch. Exceptionally/handle for error paths.
