💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Choosing 'production' instead of 'testing' environment.

Confusing 'development' with 'testing' environment.

The testing environment is specifically used to run tests on microservices before deployment.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'shared' test data causing test interference.

Using 'live' data risking production data corruption.

Isolated test data ensures tests do not affect each other or production data.

Fix the error in the test environment setup code to correctly configure the database URL.

Microservices

db_url = "jdbc:mysql://[1]:3306/testdb"

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'prod-db-server' in test environment causing data risks.

Using 'localhost' when tests require a dedicated test database.

The test environment should connect to the test-db-server to avoid affecting production data.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a test data setup that resets and seeds the database before tests.

Microservices

def setup_test_data():
    [1]()
    [2]()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Calling backup or connect functions instead of reset and seed.

Reversing the order of reset and seed functions.

First, reset_database() clears old data, then seed_database() adds fresh test data.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to configure environment variables for test microservice deployment.

Microservices

config = {
    "ENV": "[1]",
    "DB_HOST": "[2]",
    "LOG_LEVEL": "[3]"
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

CDEBUG

Dproduction

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'production' environment in test config.

Setting log level to INFO or ERROR instead of DEBUG.

The environment is set to testing, database host to test-db-server, and log level to DEBUG for detailed test logs.
