Add end to end tests

[jacobtomlinson]

As well as the existing unit tests it would be good to add some end to end tests.

Some of this has already been added in #319 with the docker tests which checks the api endpoint as well as running the unit tests.

Good things to test would be:

• The API becomes available within a certain time (10 seconds?).
• Using the webhook connector and the hello skill a message can be sent and responsed to.
• It is possible to use a database module and skill which uses it.

Hey @sims34. This issue probably isn't the best place to start. Why don't you hop into our gitter channel and we can chat about it there.

Hey, @jacobtomlinson
I would like to help by writing the tests. However, I am new to writing tests and would need your help.
Starting with the first test:

The API becomes available within a certain time (10 seconds?).

Which APIs will be concerned here? Please direct me to the relevant files.

[jacobtomlinson]

Great to have you @gsunit. I highly recommend you take a look at the project documentation. The API referred to is covered in the documentation here.

The tests covered in this issue are for externally testing opsdroid, rather than unit tests. If you're new to testing and are interested in unit tests I would recommend looking at existing tests and improving them.
