Instructions

Please read this entire README to make sure you understand what is expected of you before you begin.

This sprint challenge is designed to ensure that you are competent with the concepts taught throughout Sprint 8, Code Quality.

Begin by forking this repository. Clone your forked repository to your machine. Use the provided Xcode project in the repository. It includes the project to debug and create tests for. Commit as appropriate while you work. Push your final project to GitHub, then create a pull request back to this original repository.

You will have 3 hours to complete this sprint challenge

If you have any questions about the project requirements or expectations, ask your PM or instructor. Good luck!

Requirements

The goal of this application is threefold. You must debug the Lambda Message Board project, write unit tests, as well as UI tests for it.

As this is a project that you have written before, do not use past code. It will not benefit yourself at all in the long run.

NOTE: For the UI tests, code has been provided in the project that will use mock data in order to avoid making network calls. There are a few comments that show where code has been added to support this feature. You may disregard those parts when debugging the app. Also, there are two threads with messages that will load every time the app runs but the threads and messages you create will not persist. This is normal and should not be regarded as a bug.

The requirements for this project are as follows:

1. Find the bugs in the project. Take note of them then write unit tests that will fail until you fix them.
2. Once you have written the unit tests, fix the bugs.
3. Write UI tests for the project using the TestPage pattern. Test the functionality of the app such as creating threads, creating messages, etc. You are welcome to use a code snippet of the expect methods if you wish.
