Async Testing ‐ Testing normal functions that launch a coroutine

Scenario

• Most of the time we come across scenarios where the system under test(SUT) is a normal function.
• But this normal function launches a new co-routine and performs some action in an async way.
• If the function was a suspend function, We could have used a run-blocking way to test it on the test case so the test case does not finish until the suspend function finishes the execution.
• This is more common where a view calls a function in a view-model and the view-model launches a co-routine.
• Since the launched co-routine is independent we will not be able to use a run-blocking function.
