[jira] [Created] (NIFI-5318) Implement NiFi test harness

Peter Horvath created NIFI-5318:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Implement NiFi test harness
                 Key: NIFI-5318
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5318
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Peter Horvath


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.
