Manage My Money is a moderately complex application to demonstrate best practices in testing. Most examples on the net are either too simple or focused on a single aspect of testing. I wanted to create something more realistic that touched on several aspects of testing including unit tests, integration tests and end-to-end tests. In addition I wanted to demonstrate the power of Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) for specifying requirements that also serve as acceptance tests. This repo is the result of that ambition. Hope you will find it useful. Feedback welcome!
Manage My Money is a personal finance manager that allows you to record and analyze your income and expenses. Here are a few screenshots to give you an idea:
The diagram below shows the domain model of our application:
The goal of Manage My Money is to record financial transactions. A transaction has the following attributes:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| id | A unique identifier |
| date | Transaction date |
| payee | The other party in the transaction |
| amount | Transaction amount (income is positive, expense is negative) |
| memo | An optional note or description |
In addition, every transaction is associated with an account (e.g. a bank account or a credit card account) and a category (e.g. Groceries, Shopping, Salary, Taxes etc.).
The server implementation uses Node.js and PostgreSQL. It exposes a REST API. We use Docker to make the installation easier. You can find installation instructions in the README file.
The client implementation uses React. You can find installation and testing instructions in the README file.
