Advanced Assertions

The video tutorial explores advanced assertions in test cases, focusing on HTTP response status codes, response bodies, and database validation. It demonstrates how to fetch user data, assert its correctness, and ensure that the response body matches expectations. The tutorial also provides challenges for modifying existing test cases to validate user login tokens and account deletions, emphasizing the importance of grounded assertions.

What is the primary focus of advanced assertions in test cases?

• Ensuring code coverage

• Logging test results

• Verifying the response body and database state

• Checking HTTP response status codes

How can you access the response from a test in your code?

• By using a global variable

• By creating a constant and awaiting the promise

• By printing it to the console

• By using a callback function

What is the purpose of creating a response variable in test cases?

• To log the response to the console

• To store the response for further assertions

• To modify the response data

• To send the response to another function

What is the significance of the 'not' property in assertions?

• It logs the assertion result

• It doubles the assertion

• It reverses the assertion

• It skips the assertion

Which method allows you to assert that an object contains specific properties and values?

• toEqual

• toContain

• toBe

• toMatchObject

What is a key benefit of using 'toMatchObject' for assertions?

• It checks for exact matches only

• It only works with arrays

• It allows for partial matches with extra properties

• It ignores all extra properties

Why is it important to avoid making excessive assertions in test cases?

• It can lead to false positives

• It can slow down the test execution

• It can increase code coverage unnecessarily

• It can make tests less useful and more complex

What is a potential risk of making too many assertions in a test case?

• It can make the test case unnecessarily long and complex

• It can lead to incomplete test coverage

• It can make the test case too short

• It can cause the test to fail unexpectedly

What should you validate when a user logs in, according to the challenges presented?

• The user's password is encrypted

• The new token is saved to the database

• The user's email address

• The user's profile picture is updated

What should you ensure when deleting a user account in a test case?

• The user receives a confirmation email

• The user is logged out

• The user is actually removed from the database

• The user's data is archived
