A workflow function, given the same inputs and the same sequence of activity results, will always produce the same output. This makes workflows far more testable than you might expect for code that orchestrates long-running, multi-step processes.</p> <p>Activities are the opposite. They talk to databases, call APIs, read files, and produce side effects. You do not want your unit tests doing any of that. The testing strategy follows directly: test workflows by mocking their activities, and test activities by injecting mock dependencies.</p>
