This is where you can start to get familiar with the problem and what you need to run it. This codebase is used during pairing session for JOI initiative. It's focused on identifying code smells, refactoring and testing legacy codebase while promoting conversations.

Problem Statement

We have an existing shopping cart application, with a small set of eCommerce/shopping cart rules. Rules include calculation of total price, discount and loyalty points calculation. Most of the business logic is implemented in single method ShoppingCart.checkout.

Technology used

• Python
• unittest - unit testing framework

Run Tests

python -m unittest

Done

source ./done && deactivate

Run the Sample Application

To understand how this library would be used you can check the main method in the sample_app.py. If you want to see the results, run:

python sample_app.py
