The Application

The application is a game store in which the users could subscribe to a collection of videogames. Each videogame belongs only to one collection.

You can find the data model explanation here.

What we'll cover

We need to writte back-end tests to cover the following:

• VideoGameController

  • Validate the 200 status when the user tries to access using the “GET Method” to the “Show view” to see a video game in their collection.
  • Validate that the response returns the video game data.
  • Validate the 401 status when the user tries to access using the “GET Method” to the “Show View”, for a videogame that is not in their collection.

• CollectionController

  • Validate the 401 status when the user tries to access using the “GET Method” to the “Show view” to a collection that they are not subscribed to.
  • Validate the 401 status when the user tries to access using the “GET Method” to the “Show view” to a collection that they are subscribed to, but reached their expiration date.
