Robust API Testing for the Landing Project

Working on the landing project, which is focused on creating a compelling user experience, we've recently enhanced our testing strategy to ensure the reliability of our GitHub API integrations.

The goal was to catch potential issues arising from changes to the GitHub API, preventing silent failures in our application. We've implemented a suite of integration tests that validate the structure of live GitHub API responses against our expected data models. This approach provides confidence that our application remains resilient to external API updates.

The new test suite includes REST Client requests with assertions and end-to-end tests for the GitHubService methods. These tests orchestrate the synchronization of activity data, ensuring the correct flow of information. By using HTTP contract tests, we verify that the actual API responses match the data structures expected by the application.

This proactive testing strategy helps maintain the stability of our application by identifying and addressing API inconsistencies early in the development cycle. Check out the full article for more details on implementing these types of tests in your projects.
