9.3 Deliverables

This project has the following deliverables:

• Documentation in the docs folder.

• Acceptance tests in the tests/features and tests/steps folders.

• Unit tests for the application modules in the tests folder.

• Application to clean some acquired data and apply simple conversions to a few fields. Later projects will add more complex validation rules.

We’ll look at a few of these deliverables in a little more detail.

When starting a new kind of application, it often makes sense to start with acceptance tests. Later, when adding features, the new acceptance tests may be less important than new unit tests for the features. We’ll start by looking at a new scenario for this new application.
