Testing Azure functions

[jezzsantos]

Our Integration.External tests for Azure functions simply dont work - they are broken becuase it is not yet known how to spin up the functions in a way that they are triggered by pushing messages onto the queues that they monitor.

The documentation for solving this specific problem does not exist.
We have an issue out there with the dotnet team, but nothing is moving in years:

• Integration Testing isolated Functions Azure/azure-functions-dotnet-worker#968 (comment)
• Implement test worker/test framework Azure/azure-functions-dotnet-worker#281 (comment)

We have this blog post, that suggests a different approach: https://jaliyaudagedara.blogspot.com/2024/03/creating-integration-tests-for-azure.html
