Testing the REST API

This page describes the methods by which we test the API

OSCAREMR-6076 - Getting issue details... STATUS  is a commit designed to integrate tomcat7-maven-plugin and rest-assured in order to give use API testing as part the the build

When running the 'verify' phase in maven, integration-tests will be run (including pre-integration-test and post-integration-test) . This will result in the following actions

1) pre-integration-test phase 

• Setup a properties file (from src/test/resources/integration-tests/oscar_test.properties)
• Setup the DB (oscar_test db is dropped, created, and setup with OSCAR startup scripts
• Setup an access token so testing can get through oauth flow
• startup tomcat7

2) integration-test phase

• execute all tests with "IntegrationTest" in their name
• each test should make REST calls then make some assertions

3) post-integration-test phase

• shut down tomcat7

Assertions are done using the rest assured framework
