Template for testing:

package akka.training

import akka.testkit.{ TestKit, ImplicitSender }
import akka.actor.{ ActorSystem, Props }
import org.specs2.mutable.Specification
import org.specs2.time.{ NoTimeConversions => NTC }
import org.specs2.runner.JUnitRunner

@org.junit.runner.RunWith(classOf[JUnitRunner])
class ActorSpec extends TestKit(ActorSystem()) with
      ImplicitSender with Specification with NTC {
  
  "A ComputeActor" should {
    "respond with the length of a string" in {
      val ref = system.actorOf(Props[ComputeActor])
      ref ! "Hello world"
      expectMsg(11)
      done // necessary because Specs2 wants a matcher
    }
  }
}
