You can test rooms created within a single LiveKit pod using several approaches: • Local Server Testing: Run a local LiveKit server instance (e.g., at `ws://localhost:7880`) and use SDKs to connect, generate test tokens, and create rooms for your scenarios. This allows you to simulate participant joins, track publishing/subscribing, and data transmission in a controlled environment. • Single Node Test Setup: Use test utilities provided by the server or SDKs (such as Go’s

setupSingleNodeTest

or Swift’s

withRooms

) to automate room creation, participant management, and feature testing within one pod. • Token-Based Authentication: Generate tokens with specific permissions for each test participant and room, enabling you to test different roles and access levels. • Room Service API Testing: Use the Room Service API to create, list, update, and manage rooms and participants programmatically for integration and functional tests. • Mock-Based Unit Testing: For SDK-level tests, use mock objects to isolate and test room logic without requiring a live server. • End-to-End Integration Testing: Simulate real-world scenarios by connecting multiple clients, verifying connection states, participant events, and room properties. These methods allow you to thoroughly test room creation, participant interactions, and LiveKit features within a single pod before scaling to multi-node environments.
