Week #4 #

External Feedback #

During this week we have contacted our friends and asked them to try our app. Since some of them were using physical cookbooks for the whole their experience, they were interested in the alternative we have provided. Most of them were not using such apps before, so we could check how easy it is to interact with our app. Everyone has successfully created their accounts and tested the app. In the response our team did not notice any troubles with acknowledging the main functionality and its usage.

Testing #

For the current state our team has created several test cases for whitebox manual testing of all endpoints. For example, auth: testing that it is working correctly with correct data, returns 401 error if username already exists. For the future we are planning to prepare unit tests to exclude potentially critical errors, and also we need to create CI/CD pipeline for further deployment.
