Testing (Backend) - se701g2/Doto GitHub Wiki

Testing of Schema

Unit tests for our Schemas were written using the Mocha framework.

The tests can be run with yarn test in the terminal. In order to successfully run the tests, MongoDB needs to be installed and running separately as a live process.

Testing of API

Postman Collections and Test scripts were used to test our APIs.

The current Doto collection can be accessed here: https://www.getpostman.com/collections/17c539bc0fe909d838cf

This collection can be imported into Postman by using the link above.

Testing of Database schema

We use Mocha to test our database schema for User and Task. It runs well with Node, and supports asynchronous testing.

All our tests are added in the 'test' directory within the backend directory. they have 'test' in the filename so that mocha knows to run these tests.
