/**
 * This is an example of a JUnit test. In this case, we want to be able to test the logic
 * of our system without needing to actually start the web server. We do this by overriding
 * the altTell method in BasicCommands, which means whenever a command would normally be sent
 * to the front-end it is instead discarded. We can manually simulate messages coming from the
 * front-end by calling the processEvent method on the appropriate event processor.
