What's this?

This is a simple exercise that is meant to help teach the principles of testing code.

It was deliberately not built in a TDD manner, this is not production code.

The testing.sh script will simulate a GitHub hook notification with an appropriate payload.

$ ./testing.sh

Note that the tokens in the configuration file config.yml are not valid, and you will get an error response from the upstream service.

Things to think about

• Why is the code hard to test?
• Why is it harder to refactor?
• What should we do if Pushover is down?
• What if we wanted to notify more than one user?
• What if we wanted multiple notification methods, i.e. AWS SNS and Pushover?
