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。

我最近发现了一个叫做Threadsafe的工具(用于Java)。它是一个静态分析工具，很像findbugs，但专门用于发现多线程问题。它不是测试的替代品，但我可以推荐它作为编写可靠的多线程Java的一部分。

它甚至可以捕捉到一些非常微妙的潜在问题，比如类包容、通过并发类访问不安全的对象以及在使用双重检查锁定范式时发现丢失的volatile修饰符。

如果您编写多线程Java，请尝试一下。

等待在帮助您编写确定性单元测试时也很有用。它允许您等待系统中的某个状态更新。例如:

await().untilCall( to(myService).myMethod(), greaterThan(3) );

or

await().atMost(5,SECONDS).until(fieldIn(myObject).ofType(int.class), equalTo(1));

它还支持Scala和Groovy。

await until { something() > 4 } // Scala example

测试线程代码和非常复杂的系统的另一种方法是通过模糊测试。 它不是很好，也不能找到所有的东西，但它可能是有用的，而且操作简单。

引用:

Fuzz testing or fuzzing is a software testing technique that provides random data("fuzz") to the inputs of a program. If the program fails (for example, by crashing, or by failing built-in code assertions), the defects can be noted. The great advantage of fuzz testing is that the test design is extremely simple, and free of preconceptions about system behavior. ... Fuzz testing is often used in large software development projects that employ black box testing. These projects usually have a budget to develop test tools, and fuzz testing is one of the techniques which offers a high benefit to cost ratio. ... However, fuzz testing is not a substitute for exhaustive testing or formal methods: it can only provide a random sample of the system's behavior, and in many cases passing a fuzz test may only demonstrate that a piece of software handles exceptions without crashing, rather than behaving correctly. Thus, fuzz testing can only be regarded as a bug-finding tool rather than an assurance of quality.

上周我花了大部分时间在大学图书馆学习并发代码的调试。核心问题是并发代码是不确定的。通常，学术调试可以分为三个阵营之一:

Event-trace/replay. This requires an event monitor and then reviewing the events that were sent. In a UT framework, this would involve manually sending the events as part of a test, and then doing post-mortem reviews. Scriptable. This is where you interact with the running code with a set of triggers. "On x > foo, baz()". This could be interpreted into a UT framework where you have a run-time system triggering a given test on a certain condition. Interactive. This obviously won't work in an automatic testing situation. ;)

现在，正如上面评论者所注意到的，您可以将并发系统设计成更确定的状态。然而，如果你做得不好，你就又回到了设计顺序系统的问题上。

我的建议是，专注于制定一个非常严格的设计协议，规定什么是线程，什么不是线程。如果你限制了你的接口，使元素之间的依赖最小化，那就容易多了。

祝你好运，继续解决这个问题。

如果你正在测试简单的new Thread(runnable).run() 您可以模拟Thread来按顺序运行可运行对象

例如，如果被测试对象的代码像这样调用一个新线程

Class TestedClass {
    public void doAsychOp() {
       new Thread(new myRunnable()).start();
    }
}

然后模拟new Threads并按顺序运行runable参数会有所帮助

@Mock
private Thread threadMock;

@Test
public void myTest() throws Exception {
    PowerMockito.mockStatic(Thread.class);
    //when new thread is created execute runnable immediately 
    PowerMockito.whenNew(Thread.class).withAnyArguments().then(new Answer<Thread>() {
        @Override
        public Thread answer(InvocationOnMock invocation) throws Throwable {
            // immediately run the runnable
            Runnable runnable = invocation.getArgumentAt(0, Runnable.class);
            if(runnable != null) {
                runnable.run();
            }
            return threadMock;//return a mock so Thread.start() will do nothing         
        }
    }); 
    TestedClass testcls = new TestedClass()
    testcls.doAsychOp(); //will invoke myRunnable.run in current thread
    //.... check expected 
}
