How to unit-test a Wicket component with AbstractAjaxTimerBehavior?

I have a Wicket panel that has AbstractAjaxTimeBehavior, that I'd like to unit test. How can I trigger a ajax event during the unit test that end up calling AbstractAjaxTimeBehavior's .onTimer(AjaxRequestTarget target) method?

behavior = new AbstractAjaxTimerBehavior(Duration.seconds(pollingPeriodInSeconds)) {
  protected void onTimer(AjaxRequestTarget target) {
     // how to unit test this?
  }
}
add(behavior);

As the timer behavior won't fire itself as in the browser, you'll have to use executeBehavior(AbstractAjaxBehavior) yourself.

if (!timerBehavior.isStopped())
  wicketTester.executeBehavior(timerBehavior);

Just have a look at the code of executeAllTimerBehaviors(MarkupContainer). Note that this method is for AjaxSelfUpdatingTimerBehavior only.
