W06 Assignment: Integration Tests using ChatGPT

Overview

In this module we will learn how to use ChatGPT to create a simple integration test for our directory data server. Most of you will be familiar with pytest for the Python language if you recently took CSE 111, which is a prerequisite for this class. In addition to doing unit tests, pytest can be used to create integration tests.

To show you how ChatGPT can be used to create a simple integration test for the directory data service watch the video below.

Instructions

Setup Your Test Environment

Configure your test environment as follows (If you need a refresher view W04 Activity: Setup a Local Test Environment):

Use the Chamber of Commerce v1.5 file found here cse270-v15.zip↓ to conduct your test.
Start the web server by selecting the index.html file then clicking the "Go Live" button in VS Code.
Start the directory data service by opening a terminal in VSCode and issuing the following commands:
- Windows
```
cd directorydata_service
  python manage.py runserver
```
- Mac
```
cd directorydata_service
  python3 manage.py runserver
```
Your environment is now set up to test security.

Create Tests Using Chat GPT

In the instructional video you were shown how to create an integration test for pytest using ChatGPT prompts. You will use chat GPT to create two tests.

In the tests folder of the teton cse270 project for this week, create a file called test_users.py.
NOTE: The tests folder contains several test files. To run just the test_users.py test, pass the test filename as a parameter when running pytest. It would look something like this
```
pytest .\tests\test_users.py
```
If you want to see detailed test reports rather than just a summary add the --verbose parameter
```
pytest .\tests\test_users.py --verbose
```
Using ChatGPT, create two integration tests for the users endpoint in the directory data service. Your integration tests should do the following:
- Test 1:
  - Call the endpoint at http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/?username=admin&password=qwerty
  - Verify that the response is HTTP code 200
  - The response will be empty, so there is nothing else to validate
- Test 2:
  - Call the endpoint at http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/?username=admin&password=admin
  - Verify that the response is HTTP code 401
  - The response will be empty, so there is nothing else to validate
Run pytest to verify that it works.
View the output of the directory data service to see if your integration test called the service.

Submission

Once you have an integration test that works, copy and paste the prompts you used in ChatGPT into a word document, then upload the following files to Canvas:

Your test_users.py file.
