Testing Notes

Scenario 1: POST request is successful

2. Use the id returned by the response in a subsequent GET request to /terms/:id endpoint and ensure a 200 status code is returned.
3. Ensure the response contains an term with the correct information i.e. matching the initially sent body.
4. Clean up the database by sending a DELETE request to /terms/:id endpoint and ensure a 200 status code is returned.

Scenario 2: POST request is incorrect

1. Send a POST request to /terms endpoint with an incorrect key name in the body
2. Ensure a 422 status code is returned
3. And the response headers' code parameter should contain "InvalidPropertiesException".
4. And the response headers' data parameter should contain the name of the invalid parameter.
