> Currently, it is not really possible to automatically test the behaviour of a specific NiFi flow and make unit test type asserts if it works as expected. 
> For example, if the expected behaviour of a NiFi flow is that a file placed to a specific directory will trigger some operation after which some output file will appear at another directory, once currently can only do one thing: test the NiFi flow manually. 
> Manual testing is especially hard to manage if a NiFi flow is being actively developed: any change to a complex, existing NiFi flow might require a lot of manual testing just to ensure there are no regressions introduced. 
> Some kind of Java API that allows managing a NiFi instance and manipulating flow deployments like for example, [Codehaus Cargo|]https://codehaus-cargo.github.io/] would be of great help.
