Abstract: Systems and methods can use a testing framework for testing an event processing system. The testing framework operates to send a stream of input events for an event processing system, wherein each said input event is associated with a timestamp that is based on a system time, and wherein said event processing system processes the stream of input events in a batch mode with one or more sliding cycles. Furthermore, the testing framework can determine a base time for an event window in the system time, wherein said event window includes one or more input events in a sliding cycle that corresponds to a plurality of expected output events associated with a shared timestamp, and applies the event window on the stream of input events that are sent to the event processing system.

Abstract: 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.
