I test every (source, status) combination: @Test void shouldReturnNextTopicGivenValidSourceAndSuccessStatus () { setEvent ( PAYMENT_SERVICE . toString (), SUCCESS ); TopicsEnum topic = sagaExecutionController . getNextTopic ( event ); assertEquals ( INVENTORY_SUCCESS , topic ); } @Test void shouldReturnFailTopicGivenValidSourceAndFailStatus () { setEvent ( PAYMENT_SERVICE . toString (), FAIL ); TopicsEnum topic = sagaExecutionController .…
