Lesson

1. Introduction to testing and backend

1.1 Establishing some terminology

Before we get started, let's establish some ground rules for how we use terminology in this lesson.

Within the context of this lesson, a backend is an API that supports a collection of features. It often—but not always—exposes its interface through HTTP requests and returns JSON objects as responses.

A backend can refer to the service you're writing, but it can also be something your service depends on. For example:

• A database may act as a backend to your service.
• Your service could function as the backend for your users.
• The GitHub API might be a backend your project relies on.

Key Terms

• "Your project": This refers to the code you write for Node.js.
• "API" / "API testing": This refers to your Node.js project that exposes its features to the world through an HTTP API. This term also includes the testing necessary to ensure proper handling of requests.
• "Backend" / "Service": This refers to an API you call via HTTP, often from your project.
• "Database": This is a specific backend your project uses to store and retrieve data.

Suggested Solution

• Extreme editing, cutting down and removing unnecessary information.
• Proof-reading of text.
