TODO: Improvements

Docker

  • Instead of having the configuration just installed in computer, could be used Docker for pull some Jenkins image from Docker hub, having the service running in a container and also having a Dockerfile and volumes for data persistence.

  • Also Docker could be useful for isolate the work, integrate with other tools and for fast/easy configuration just to mention some advantages.

Jenkins & Jenkinsfile:

  • For next time can be nice taking more time to add more clean commands and scripts in Jenkinsfile
  • Also include better practices with Jenkins like save some information in environment variables and just call them.

API documentation.

Postman API documentation is cool but maybe in future can be considered Swagger.

Postman:

  • BDD:
  • Organize the tests using BDD('Describe')
  • BDD Hooks:
    • Use before, after, beforeEach, and afterEach hooks to reuse code and tests
  • Automatic Error Handling:
    • If a script error occurs, only that one test fails. Other tests still run.
  • Nested describe blocks:
    • You can nest describe blocks to logically group your tests
  • Mock servers:
  • Mock some difficult response like xx500 responses or other scenarios.
  • Monitor
  • Monitor the collection to schedule some days and times to run automatically and receive the response in your email.
  • Improve the tests:
  • In some tests could be improved the way that variables are defined and then used.
  • randomData can also be defined to use in POST requests.
