How should I unit test threaded code?

Question

I have thus far avoided the nightmare that is testing multi-threaded code since it just seems like too much of a minefield. I\'d like to ask how people have gone about test

Awaitility can also be useful to help you write deterministic unit tests. It allows you to wait until some state somewhere in your system is updated. For example:

await().untilCall( to(myService).myMethod(), greaterThan(3) );

or

await().atMost(5,SECONDS).until(fieldIn(myObject).ofType(int.class), equalTo(1));

It also has Scala and Groovy support.

await until { something() > 4 } // Scala example
