Back End Practicum: Week 6

Test-Driven Development (TDD)

Learn why testing is important and how to incorporate it into your coding process

Activities

As a Team 

  • Continue using the standup format to check in:
    • What have I been working on this week?
    • What will I be working on (or continuing) next?
    • What issues are blocking me?
  • Continue to work on resolving merge conflicts with your teammates, and moving your project work along.

On Your Own

  • Continue working on tickets in your respective back-end and front-end repos.
    • Move your tickets through the GitHub Projects workflow so the whole team has a sense of the project’s overall progress.
    • Pull down the upstream main branch of your project’s repo periodically so that you are working on the latest code and minimizing future merge conflicts.
  • As you work on your ticket(s) this week, write a few unit tests for your code using RSpec, and make sure they are passing before making your next PR.
    • If needed, review your course’s Lesson 9: Testing with RSpec
