ComparaOnline Test Requirements Specification

Hi, welcome to the Software Engineer CO Test. In this test we expect to see your approach to refactor a legacy code into a testeable, object oriented solution.

We will only consider your application if you submit your own repository with the proposed solution. Forks or pull requests to our repo will DISCARD your application.

The code updates the price of products of our business unit, Car Insurance, based on rules explained bellow.

Here you have a description of the products.

• All Products have a sellIn value which denotes the number of days we have to sell the product.
• All Products have a price value which denotes how much the product cost.
• At the end of each day our system lowers both values for every product.

Pretty simple, right? Well this is where it gets interesting:

• Once the sell by date has passed, price degrades twice as fast.
• The price of a product is never negative.
• "Full Coverage" actually increases in price the older it gets.
• The price of a product is never more than 50.
• "Mega Coverage", being a legendary product, never has to be sold or decreases in price.
• "Special Full Coverage", like full coverage, increases in price as its sellIn value approaches:
  • price increases by 2 when there are 10 days or less and by 3 when there are 5 days or less but.
  • price drops to 0 when no more days left (and the product is not valid anymore).

We have recently released a new kind of product Super Sale product. This requires an update to our system:

• "Super Sale" Products degrade in price twice as fast as normal Products.

Feel free to make any changes to the updatePrice method and add any new code as long as everything still works correctly. However, DO NOT alter the constructor of Product class.

Final notes

• Just for clarification, a product can never have its price increase above 50, however "Mega Coverage" is a legendary product and as such its price is 80 and it never alters.

• On file products_after_30_days.txt you could see the behavior of the products in the period of 30 days. The Super Sale product is not working properly. You have to implement it.

Evaluation rules

• Design an Object Oriented solution
• Meaningful git commits, we expect to see your solution approach as commit messages
• We expect a Node.js (>6) codebase, otherwise you should provide a Dockerfile with all the required dependencies to run the required commands.
• 100% code coverage, you should provide the report and the command to run the tests and get the coverage report.

Required commands

• npm run test, should run the test suite and display the coverage report
• npm run after-30-days, should display an output similar to products_after_30_days.txt

You can use this code snipet as reference to implement the after-30-days script.

const productsAtDayZero = [
  new Product('Medium Coverage', 10, 20),
  new Product('Full Coverage', 2, 0),
  new Product('Low Coverage', 5, 7),
  new Product('Mega Coverage', 0, 80),
  new Product('Mega Coverage', -1, 80),
  new Product('Special Full Coverage', 15, 20),
  new Product('Special Full Coverage', 10, 49),
  new Product('Special Full Coverage', 5, 49),
  new Product('Super Sale', 3, 6),
];

const carInsurance = new CarInsurance(productsAtDayZero);
const productPrinter = function (product) {
  console.log(`${product.name}, ${product.sellIn}, ${product.price}`);
};

for (let i = 1; i <= 30; i += 1) {
  console.log(`Day ${i}`);
  console.log('name, sellIn, price');
  carInsurance.updatePrice().forEach(productPrinter);
  console.log('');
}
