Challenge Overview

We want to create a testing suite that will test our backend microservices and will export the results in an HTML based UI.

In this challenge, we’ll target the tc-message-service.

You need to cover all available endpoints.

Detailed requirements

The testing suite must be written in NodeJS and you should follow the latest best practices.
We’re already using Mocha, sinon & chai in many of our projects so those libraries are allowed to be used. Please ask in the forum in case you want to use another library.
You need to create both negative and positive test cases for each endpoint.
You need to verify every attribute of the response body. So, ideally, the tests should fail on even field name changes.
We should be able to configure it to test it against any environment so that we can verify few active projects on production as well.
We should be able to configure it such a way that we can run tests only in read-only mode i.e. just verify the get/list endpoints. We will use this feature to test out selected projects from production. The login credentials (handle or email & password) must be set as environment variables.
We should be able to pass the target microservice as a parameter. For example, if we run “npm run test:tc-message-service” the test suite will test only the tc-message-service. If the target microservice is not provided, the test suite should test all available microservices.
Test results should be exported in an HTML based UI and should be sent via email to a configured list of email addresses.

You will find the details on how to login and get a working JWT in the challenge forum.
