Abstract

• The purpose of this project was to practice implementing Test-Driven Development by writing tests for our JavaScript before writing functionality to help ensure SRP design and prevent bugs. The end result is a little flashcard quiz which can be played in the terminal -- and a whole host of test suites that ensure it is functioning correctly!

Technologies

• Javascript
• Atom
• eslint

Code Architecture

• JavaScript

Illustrations

Install + Setup

• If you're interested in practicing with these flashcards, clone this repo to your local machine, then cd into the appropriate directory and type node index.js. Then enjoy quizzing yourself on array iterator methods! You can use the arrow keys to change the highlighted answer, then hit return to make your selection.

Wins

• This project helped me become more confident in writing test suites and was excellent practice for Test Driven Development. My tests saved me many a time!
• This was my first time using eslint to clean up my code, and I have to say I really appreciate the convenience of a linter!

Challenges + Improvements

• I wasn't able to complete any of the optional extensions for this project -- I'm confident that I could manage them with additional time, but a quick turnaround deadline meant I had to cut my losses and focus on polishing up a MVP.
• Although I feel pretty confident that the tests I wrote help ensure basic correct functionality, I would have liked to have been more thorough in seeking out more happy/sad paths and edge cases. Again, the short turnaround time made it hard.
