Solution

Tests

• Integration tests (Class Library) Used to house all the integration tests and the boilerplate required
• Test Objects Contains the object mothers and builders user by the Integration Tests
• Integrations
  • ExternalPythonService Used for employee lookups and CRUD operations. Has its own Token based authentication
  • iNomNomMenService Used for interaction on the menu items
  • Infrastructure Houses the Http Request layer used by the Service projects
• GatewayApi Contains the project setup and controllers
• Domain Has the handlers, builders, DTOs and mappings generally this contains all the business rules for th API
• Repositories Is the Data layer linking the ORM and the database together and is consumed in the Domain. Designed a very thin Repository layerand avoided going tinto detail wiht the full implementation fo the repository and Unit of work pattern.
