Appendix – testing your code on Google Cloud
I added this section as an appendix because testing is a harder concept that requires more thought and customization, so I consider this as an extra effort that will be worth your while.
When we speak about testing, there are a few basic concepts that we should take into account, as this Google Cloud documentation page mentions: https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/testing/test-basics.
We should ensure that our code works properly from different perspectives. Let’s introduce the three types of tests.

And for this to be possible, we need to put together a list of tests that, when passed, will confirm that our code is functional in three different scenarios: on its own, as part of a bigger workflow...
