Controller Testing Activity

In this activity, we will be making controller tests—automated tests to detect bugs in how our app processes and responds to HTTP requests.

For the activity, we will work with a limerick (poem) authoring and sharing app, LimerIQ: https://github.com/human-se/limeriq-f23

Clone the example repo:

git clone git@github.com:human-se/limeriq-f23.git testing-activity-app

cd into the working tree.

code . to open the project in VS Code.

bundle install to ensure that the project Ruby gems are installed.

rails db:migrate:reset to reset and initialize the database.

rails db:seed to add seed data to the database.

rails s to run the development web server.

Open http://localhost:3000 in a web browser.

The seed data includes two users and their respective limericks:

• alice@email.com, password
• bob@email.com, password

Try using the app to get a sense for its features. You can sign in as either of the above users.
