Full Stack Web Development - Lab 6: Testing and Pull Requesting

Setup

• Pair up (or three up if an odd number)
• Nominate a primary code owner
• That person forks this repository to their own GitHub account
  • And then gives access to that repository to their teammates

Exercise

• Everybody clone that primary repository to your machine
• Run npm test
• Setup an account with Travis CI and direct it to your repository
• Run npm test
• Commit the change and push it to git
• Watch what Travis does with it
• Write up a couple test cases (in plain English)
• One person translates those test cases into actual tests, the other should work on the server implementation of those cases.
• Tester commits the tests to git, and push to the repository
• Developer pulls from git and incorporates (manually or via git) the server code changes
• Run npm test, commit, and push
• Repeat until you can no longer come up with additional test cases
• Finally, submit a pull request to the original Betamore repository with your fancy new code and tests!

Building an Authentication system

Consider what your authentication system is going to need:

• A place to store users' credentials
• A way for existing users to login
• A way for new users to sign up

Think about what needs to happen for each of those. What happens when a user tries to login with credentials that do not exist? What happens when a logged in user tries to login? Make a list of all the possible wacky scenarios! Each scenario could make for a good test.
