Synopsis

This take-home assignment is all about unit testing.

Testing is an important part of programming. In this assignment, we want you to write a test that can determine if a given input precisely matches a target model. We will provide you with the target model, which is a simple object in JSON format. You will also be provided with a number of input data. Your job is to write a test that can tell us when the input matches the target and when it doesn't.

Procedure

Reference the given data below and use your preferred testing library to construct a test file.

Hint: Test a function that compares inputs to the target. An example being:

function compare(input, target) {
  if (input === target) {
    return true
  } else {
    return false
  }
}

Requirements

The test should successfully pass with each input.

Hint: this means you must tell the test when a mismatch is expected.

Include a walkthrough video that shows all the unit tests passing and gives a brief overview of how you approached this problem.

Resources

Target Model: {"name": "sheet2","freeze": "A1","styles": [],"merges": [],"rows": {},"validations": []}
Inputs:
- Matching input: {"name": "sheet2","freeze": "A1","styles": [],"merges": [],"rows": {},"validations": []}
- Mismatching inputs:
  - "This is a string, not an object. This won't work!"
  - 100
  - {"name": "sheet2","freeze": "A1","styles": [],"merges": [],"rows": {}}
