Testing the REST API

Feb 23, 2017

 

This page describes the methods by which we test the API

 

https://oscaremr.atlassian.net/browse/OSCAREMR-6076 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
