LU04e - Adding and testing an API

Internal reference: learningunits/04-5.md

Goals

  1. I can migrate/prepare an app for testing over the network (primarily http)
  2. I can set up and run the app in container.
  3. I can run prepared tests (primarily unit test) against the containerized app.
  4. If there are any errors, I can analyze the error, suggest and test an initial workaround (troubleshooting).


Basics

Life Demo Project Traffic light with the following steps:

  1. Start the containerized app
  2. Test welcome message with curl
  3. Run unit tests against the API


Exercises

  1. Setup Jenkins 03/02_Exercises/01-Exercise.md to 03-Exercise.md - according to the learning objectives (see course repository).
  2. If there is an error, read the message carefully, think about a solution and implement it.
