This week is about my personal struggles with the project so far. Throughout this process I&#8217;ve found myself at times circling around a problem, feeling like I wasn&#8217;t able to make any traction.  One example is figuring out how to write Cucumber scenarios for api calls. I wasn&#8217;t too familiar with using apis and writing test scenarios for it seemed daunting as most of the test I&#8217;ve written in the past were for front end functionality. I decided to hit the books and read up on mediawiki&#8217;s documentation for their api. I also found it helpful to find and take courses on linkedin learning that had to do with creating test cases, especially when the examples were testing an api. I found these courses,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/learning\/behavior-driven-development\">Behavior-Driven Development<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/learning\/api-testing-and-validation\">API Testing and Validation<\/a> which were helpful. I made some tests cases and presented it to my mentor to get feedback which helped. <br><br>I understand that this is an iterative process so try my best but know that I&#8217;m probably not going to get it 100%.  It also helps to remember that this is what the internship process is all about, learning and growing and that&#8217;s something I can feel confident about :)<br><br>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another Outreachy post time!
