URL Shortener Microservice. How to test it?

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:

The second user story says:

After completing this project you can copy your public glitch url (to the homepage of your app) into this screen to test it!

But copying the link doesn’t do anything. It only allowes me to click the “I’ve completed this challenge”-button. So, how do I actually test it?

Also, why do I have to provide both a github link AND a glitch.com link?

Your code so far

Your browser information:

User Agent is: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/67.0.3396.99 Safari/537.36.

The projects are tested manually by someone on the team to verify your certificate after completion. It would be up to you to make sure it works before you submit it. Go through the user stories and ensure it does everything listed.

You’re able to host your projects anywhere, though glitch.com is encouraged for simplicity. Since someone may need to point to their code and a running instance separately, we need two different links.

Thanks for the clarification :slight_smile:

There are tests made by the community that you can use. I’m not 100% sure all those tests are well written, but for now it’s all we’ve got.

You can test your APIs and Microservices Projects here: https://narrow-plane.glitch.me/
And you can test Information Security and Quality Assurance Projects here: https://pricey-hugger.glitch.me/
