tdd-rest-demo

An automated testing demo for a simple REST service.

The TDD Exercise

Get revision "Foundational API with baseline test failures." to see finished tests and implement the server-side checking yourself to make the 13 failing tests pass! The following revision, "All tests passing." has example answers. Note that some logic might be more appropriate in a business or data layer, but this is demo and those don't exist here. :)

My Environment

• Apache Maven 3.2.5 (local)
• Java 1.8.0_40 x64 (local)
• Tomcat 8.0.20 (local)

The Projects

• awesome-api contains the RESTful API code (using Jersey) and unit tests
• awesome-api-system-tests contains system tests

Local Setup

• If using Eclipse IDE, run "mvn eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse" to generate Eclipse artifacts. Then import them into your workspace.
• Note that you must change the Tomcat deployment directory in the awesome-api pom.xml if using "mvn package" to deploy!
• For the awesome-api project, build and deploy using "mvn clean compile package".
• If not already done, start Tomcat using "$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh" (shutdown.sh to stop).
