In this Capstone project for the Photo Tourist you will implement a Ruby on Rails web application that makes use of both a relational and NoSQL database for the backend and expose the data through services to the Internet using Web services and a responsive user interface operating in a browser from a desktop and mobile device. You will have a chance to revisit and apply what you have learned in our previous courses to build and deploy a fully functional web application to the cloud accessible to your co-workers, future employers, friends, and family. In developing the Photo Tourist web application, you will get to work with different data types and data access scenarios (e.g., fielded data display and update, image upload/download, text search, access controlled information) to provide your users the ability to show off their photos and information from trips they have taken and to seek out photos and information from trips taken by others. Using the application you develop, your users will be able to • Create an account • Upload and download photos to the site and make them accessible to others • Provide descriptions of trips and photos that others can read • Organize photos by location and trip, • Find photos based on location • Find photos based on text searches of descriptions • Locate the place where the photo was taken on a map

Great Course Jim has really thought me more than enough to get my career started. All a student has to do is just study.

Excellent course. Mr. Stafford is a very good teacher.
In this module, you will learn how to development model, request, and feature specs using RSpec and to leverage gems like DatabaseCleaner, FactoryGirl, and Faker in building those specs. You will also learn how to DRY their tests using RSpec shared_contexts and shared_examples as well as Ruby modules for helper methods. All use of tests within the capstone will be "integration-style" tests, going to the database and back. We will not have time to implement pure unit tests for individual components. For model testing, we will focus tests on factories, query scopes, relationships, and facade methods interacting directly with PostgreSQL and MongoDB databases. We will address the general purpose and custom techniques for managing the database state during cleanup. For API testing, we will form a hefty set of RSpec shared_contexts and Ruby helper methods for the request specs that will take care of the details of many CRUD behaviors and other tedious, repetitive tasks. The API is not only easier to test than the Web UI, it is a first-class external interface deserving of separate testing. During test coverage, you will learn internal Rails error handling techniques that will provide the web client a proper and sane web reply in the face of errors. For Web UI testing, we will introduce Capybara for building feature tests and the role of the RackTest, Selenium, and Poltergeist/PhantomJS drivers for implementing UI testing with Javascript. Although Capybara provides a nice interface for expressing Web UI tests, the asynchronous nature of Web UIs make them extremely difficult to test without well thought out decisions during development. This course has a special emphasis on teaching you how to develop automated integration tests at all levels of the architecture, including the Web UIs. It is recommended that you review this module and sample further test-related lectures in follow-on modules to get a good understanding of how testing can best be leveraged in a full stack development (within constraints of the course). Except for the seasoned RSpec and Capybara user, there is no shortcut through this module.
