This is a student project from the Turing School of Software & Design as part of the Module 2 backend engineering curriculum. The purpose of this project was to build an application with Sinatra that allows users to browse comedians and comedian specials.
It tested my ability to setup a database with one-to-many relationships and implement CRUD functionality. The project was completed utilizing test-driven development and organized with a MVC structure.

RSpec was used for testing with gems Capybara and Shoulda-matchers. Test coverage was tracked with SimpleCov.
- To run tests, from the root directory, run:
rspec
Tests in the spec/features folder test features simulating user interaction with the application and then expecting content on the page within specific CSS selectors.
Tests in the spec/models folder test the object models setup in the database. They contain validations for table attributes, table relationships, and also methods built with ActiveRecord to interact with the database.
