Description

We recently changed a big part of the supervision of quantum (add job scheduler library) to swarm if it is used in a cluster.

One thing that was missing for us is a testing utility to make sure that the new callbacks for swarm actually work.

I implemented a really easy helper: https://github.com/quantum-elixir/quantum-core/pull/369/files#diff-51021d33872c9243af9315e6b3809e77

Would you be willing so add something like that (but more complete) to the library?

Research direction
Review the linked PR in quantum core (https://github.com/quantum elixir/quantum core/pull/369/files) for a simple testing helper example. Examine existing test files in the swarm repository (e.g., test/) to understand the testing conventions. Implement a module that provides a testing utility for swarm callbacks, similar to the referenced helper but more comprehensive. Consider adding documentation and ensuring the utility is easy to use.
