project

Your task this week is to deploy and test the quiz app you have completed in the previous two weeks.

Spike

Before you start you need to create a testing and deployment plan. We would like you plan a testing strategy that will have broad coverage of your project. The tools we would like you to use to achieve this can include Cypress, Postman and the Node built in testing library.

We would also like you to deploy this project using an EC2 instance for you server and github pages for your frontend.

Questions to consider

• What parts of the application logic are the most critical to cover with unit tests?

• How will you mock external dependencies (like databases or APIs) during unit testing?

• What are the key user journeys and flows within the application that must be covered by end-to-end tests?

• How will you manage test data and state for end-to-end testing?

• How will encrypted communication (HTTPS) be set up, and will you use a reverse proxy?

• How will you manage configuration variables for different environments (development, staging, production)?

• How will CORS policies be configured between the frontend on GitHub Pages and the backend on EC2?

Acceptance Criteria

• Comprehensive Test coverage including unit, integration and end-to-end tests covering critical application logic and user flows.

• Successful deployment of apps backend on an AWS EC2 instance, and the frontend is live on GitHub Pages.

• Documentation clearly outlines setup, deployment, and usage instructions, including API endpoints and environmental requirements.

Stretch criteria

• GitHub Actions CI setup to run your tests when you push.
