TECHNICAL: Author automated tests that verify CRUD operations for artifacts and materials

[stevebrownlee]

Before any functionality for artifacts and materials is merged into production, there must be an automated test module that validates the following requests.

Artifacts

Method	Endpoint	Status Code	Coverage
GET	/artifacts	200	An array should be returned. Validate that the first object in the array has all required keys that are expected in the response
GET	/artifacts/{artifact.id}	200	Insert a new artifact into DB in the test method, then verify that when you GET it that all the keys and values are correct
DELETE	/artifacts/{artifact.id}	204/404	Create a new artifact in the test method. Delete it and verify you get a 204 response code. Then GET it again and verify you get a 404.
PUT	/artifacts/{artifact.id}	405	Create a new artifact in the test method. Perform a PUT operation to change some values. Verify you get a 405 Unsupported response.
POST	/artifacts	201	Perform a POST operation with an accurate payload and verify that you get a 201 response code and that the new artifact is in the response body with the correct keys and values.

Materials

Method	Endpoint	Status Code	Coverage
GET	/materials	200	An array should be returned. Validate that the first object in the array has all required keys that are expected in the response
GET	/materials/{material.id}	200	Insert a new material into DB in the test method, then verify that when you GET it that all the keys and values are correct
DELETE	/materials/{material.id}	204/404	Create a new material in the test method. Delete it and verify you get a 204 response code. Then GET it again and verify you get a 404.
PUT	/materials/{material.id}	204	Create a new material in the test method. Perform a PUT operation to change some values. Verify you get a 204 response. Then perform a GET and verify that the record was updated correctly
POST	/materials	201	Perform a POST operation with an accurate payload and verify that you get a 201 response code and that the new material is in the response body with the correct keys and values.
