Testing Azure Functions

Azure Function runtime allows us to create and integrate with many Azure services. At the time of writing this, there are more than 20 types of Azure Functions you can create. You also need to understand how to test these functions. In this recipe, you will learn how to test the most common Azure Functions, listed as follows:

Testing HTTP triggers using Postman
Testing the Blob trigger using Microsoft Storage Explorer
Testing the Queue trigger using the Azure Management portal

Getting ready

Install the following tools if you haven't installed them yet:

Postman: You can download it from https://www.getpostman.com/

You can use Storage Explorer to connect to the storage accounts and view all the data available different storage services, such as Blobs, Queues, Tables, and Files. You can also create, update, and delete them right from the Storage Explorer.
