Review, Research, and Discussion
- Name 3 advantages to Test Driven Development
- Better program design and higher code quality.
- Reduces the time required for project development.
- Code flexibility and easier maintenance.
- In what case would you need to use beforeEach() or afterEach() in a test suite?
- when a method needs to be run before a test and another method run after it.
- What is one downside of Test Driven Development ?
- if the developer leaves or forgets the reason that the test returns one specific value and not some other.
- What’s the primary difference between ES6 Classes and Constructor/Prototype Classes?
- ES6 Classes are syntactical sugar so it is much easier to implement.
- Why REST?
1) REST is Easy to Understand and Implement. 2) REST Makes your Application More Scalable. 3) Caching is Easier with REST. 4) REST is Flexibile.
