This lecture covers the principles of testing actor systems in the context of reactive programming. It explains how tests can only verify externally observable effects, demonstrates the use of Akka's Test Kit for testing actors, and discusses testing actors with dependencies. The lecture also explores testing interaction with the parent, inserting a foster-parent for monitored communication, and testing actor hierarchies using the concept of 'Reverse Onion Testing'.
