Test Message

Pattern	Assure the health of messaging components by sending test messages. Note: Instead of the original pattern, we have selected a modern version where infrastructure polls for the health of the components.
How Ballerina helps	Ballerina provides built-in support for creating, propagating(`check` keyword), and handling errors. Error handling logic can be performed after testing if a given value is an error using the `is` keyword.
