If you are reading this then you're probably talking to us about a technical role at Pure. If so, congratulations!
In order to move forward, we'd like to know a little about how you work. To that end, this repository contains a short, time-boxed (approximately 2 hours) that you can use demonstrate your skills and abilities.
We follow a lightweight agile development process at Pure, and so have presented a small set of user stories to work through. As a pair-programming exercise, we will work with you as we extend, refactor and build upon the existing app, adding tests or assertions to cover our new behavior where reasonable to do so.
-
We will work through the User Stories below, adding the relevant functionality to the application.
-
We are particularly interested in your approach to testing, and how you factor your code for readability and extensibility by others.
-
We will work together to complete as much of the exercise as feasible. While progress is important, we're more interested in your thought process and how you work with others; so don't worry if you don't complete all of the stories.
As a pair-programming exercise, your pair will have this all prepared in advance on their machine, ready for your session!
If you wish to familiarize yourself with the project in advance, read on!
The back-end service uses dockerized services, to save having to install each component on your machine locally. There's a good Getting Started tutorial if you're not familiar with docker yet.
- Clone a copy of the repository
- Install the relevant tools in each of the
frontendandservicefolders withnpm install - In the
servicefolder, create a.envfile by copying the.env.examplefile e.g.cp .env.example .env - Spin up the backend service with
npm run docker:devin theservicefolder - Spin up the frontend app with
npm run devin thefrontendfolder - Visit
http://localhost:8000and you should see a running app - Congratulations!
Additional notes on the server can be found in the Service Folder.
Any questions, drop us a line at [email protected].
It may be useful to insert seed data into the running MongoDB instance. To do so, you can optionally install the Mongo Seeding CLI and follow instructions there to seed your Mongo instance.
There is sample seed data under the /data folder.
Drop us a line at [email protected] and we'll be happy to elaborate on anything here.
Context
As an Investor I want to know if I input incorrect credentials So that I can check my input
Acceptance Criteria
Given I am not logged into the site
When I enter invalid credentials (Backend responds with HTTP 401 Not Authorized)
Then I should see an error notification that my login attempt was unsuccessful
Expected Behavior
Browsing to /dashboard redirects to login
Actual Behavior
Browsing to /dashboard renders empty page
Acceptance Criteria
Given I am not logged into the site
When I visit /dashboard
Then I should be redirect to login at the site root
As an Investor I want to see headline stats about my account So that I can review my investment at a glance
Acceptance Criteria
Given I am logged into the site
When I view the dashboard
Then I should see my Initial Investment amount listed in the headline stats
And I should see my Investment date listed in the headline stats in human readable format
Also I should see my projected value amount listed in the headline stats
Dev Notes
Projected value is calculated as: P (1 + r/n)^(nt), where P is the initial principal balance, r is the interest rate, n is the number of times interest is compounded per time period and t is the number of time periods. It is assumed interest compounds on a monthly basis, i.e. 12 times a year. e.g. P = 5000. r = 5/100 = 0.05 (decimal). n = 12. t = 10.
A = 5000 (1 + 0.05 / 12) (12 * 10) = 8235.05.
As an Investor I want to view the amount of transactions So that I can easily track the balance
Acceptance Criteria
