stoney core: REST API (Testing)

Overview

This page describes, how and what to test. The goal is to automate all tests with Frisby. Frisby is a REST API testing framework built on node.js and Jasmine.

stoney core resources

The following stoney core resources have automated Frisby tests:

• stoney core: Authentication Resource - REST API
• stoney core: Resellers Resource - REST API
• stoney core: Customers Resource - REST API
• stoney core: People Resource - REST API
• stoney core: Search Resource - REST API

Testing Naming Schema

The automated Frisby tests test all resources and sorted based on users and their relationships. As described in stoney core: REST API, the relationships are hierarchical:

Service Provider Person > Reseller Employee > Customer Employee > Reseller Person and Customer Person

The further down you go, the less rights a person has. Therefore the same tests can be run for all the users, just the expectations change. To make sure, that the tests are executed in the proper order, the following naming schema applies:

• 00xx Header and basic JSON validation
• 01xx Authentication
• 02xx Service Provider Person (SPP)
• 03xx Reseller Employee (RE)
• 04xx Reseller Person (PP)
• 05xx Customer Employee (CE)
• 06xx Customer Person (CP)
