idea

have different micro apps tested on different levels (unit, integration, system, system integration)

• there are 3 different apps running here
  • app_frontend
    • ruby based (slim templates) (should/could be substituted from a node app)
    • serves the frontend
  • app_backend
    • ruby based
    • serves the endpoints for the logics
  • app_dependency
    • ruby based
    • serves extra support to the backend app
• the various apps are tested with rspec for now (the frontend app could get unit and integration testing examples in node)

commands

• start the app to test
  • frontend (inside his folder)
    • ruby app_frontend.rb
    • http://localhost:8080
    • start mock server of the backend
      • yarn backend-mockserver

  • dependency backend (inside his folder)
    • ruby app_dependency.rb
    • http://localhost:3001
• run tests
