Testing Notes

Scenario 1: DELETE request is successful:

1. Create a new term with a POST request to /terms endpoint and ensure status code 200 is returned.
2. With the id returned from the POST, make a DELETE request to /terms/:id endpoint and ensure status code 200 is returned.
3. A subsequent GET request to /terms/:id endpoint should return a status code 404.
4. And the response headers' code parameter should contain "NotFoundException".

Scenario 2: DELETE request is unsuccessful

1. Make a DELETE request to /terms/:id endpoint containing a non-existent term_id.
2. Ensure a 404 status code is returned.
3. And the response headers' code parameter should contain "NotFoundException".

Scenario 3: DELETE request is forbidden

1. Make a DELETE request to /terms/:id endpoint using a student account token.
2. Ensure the endpoint returns a 403 forbidden status code.
3. And the response headers' code parameter should contain "ForbiddenException"

Scenario 4: DELETE request is unauthorized

1. Send a DELETE request to /terms/:id endpoint without an authorization token
2. Ensure a 401 unauthorized status code is returned.
3. And the response headers' code parameter should contain "TokenMissingException"
