Test-driven development with Flask
TDD is a software development approach where you write automated tests before writing the actual code. The process involves writing a test case for a specific feature or functionality and then writing the minimum amount of code necessary to make the test pass. Once the test passes, you write additional tests to cover different edge cases and functionality until you have fully implemented the desired feature.
Using Flask with an attendee endpoint as a case study, the TDD process might look like this:
- Define the feature: The first step is to define the feature you want to implement. In this case, the feature is an endpoint that allows users to view a list of attendees for an event.
- Write a test case: Next, you must write a test case that defines the expected behavior of the endpoint. For example, you might write a test that checks that the endpoint returns a JSON response with a list of attendees.
- Run the test: You then run the test...
