Event Testing

Summary​

Recruitment smoke coverage asserts key outbox event types and onboarding completion. Employee/downstream smoke helpers exercise synchronization paths, but no source-backed unit-test project or complete offboarding event suite was found.

Audience​

QA engineers, developers, integration engineers, support, and architects.

Reference Content​

Existing evidence​

  • Recruitment smoke assertions cover CandidateApplied, InterviewScheduled, OfferGenerated, OfferAccepted, OfferRejected, CandidateOnboarded and CandidateJoined outbox presence.
  • Recruitment smoke covers completion only after Employee provisioning behavior.
  • Employee synchronization helper and service smoke scripts support manual/integration verification.
  • Notification, Payroll and Leave have smoke scripts relevant to their service boundaries.
  • No dedicated test project was found under the microservices tree.

Missing coverage​

  • All 19 domain events and 18 mappings in one automated catalog test.
  • OfferWithdrawn unmapped-event assertion.
  • Employee outbox relay absence/activation contract.
  • Duplicate, non-consecutive replay and out-of-order scenarios across every consumer.
  • Poison messages, retry ceilings and dead-letter behavior.
  • Correlation/causation propagation.
  • Compatibility versus extracted route parity.
  • Exit/offboarding event tests, because no such events exist.
  • Asset-clearance-to-exit interaction.

No smoke script or service was executed during this documentation work.

Requires confirmation​

Unless explicitly confirmed above, live delivery, consumer deployment, replay, reconciliation, retention, contract governance, monitoring and production ownership require confirmation.
