A common way of testing routes is to use JUnit. The design time tooling includes a wizard that simplifies creating a JUnit test case for your routes. The wizard uses the endpoints you specify to generate the starting point code and configuration for the test.

After you create the boilerplate JUnit test case, you need to modify it to add expectations and assertions specific to the route that you've created or modified, so the test is valid for the route. |
To create a new JUnit test case for your route:
In Package Explorer, select the camel-context.xml file in your routing project.
Right-click it to open the context menu, and then select New Camel JUnit Test Case wizard, as shown in Figure 6, “New Camel JUnit Test Case wizard”.
> to open theAlternatively, you can open the wizard by selecting
> > from the menu bar.In Source folder, accept the default location of the source code for the test case, or enter another location.
You can click to search for a location.
In Package, accept the default package name for the generated test code, or enter another package name.
You can click to search for a package.
In Camel XML file under test, accept the default pathname of the routing context file that contains the route you want to test, or enter another pathname.
You can click to search for a context file.
In Name, accept the default name for the generated test class, or enter another name.
Select the method stubs you want to include in the generated code.
If you want to include the default generated comments in the generated code, check the Generate comments box.
Click to open the Test Endpoints page. For
example, Figure 7, “New Camel JUnit Test Case page” shows a route's input and output file
endpoints selected.
Under Available endpoints, select the endpoints you want to test. Click the checkbox next to any selected endpoint to deselect it.

If prompted, add JUnit to the build path. |
The artifacts for the test are added to your project and appear in Package
Explorer under src/test/java
. The class implementing the
test case opens in the Java editor.
