Day In Review

I began implementing an API wrapper around a payment processing and verification service. The workflow involved building up the required xml, shipping it off, and then making assertions based upon the return values. The code can get overly complicated if one is not careful to separate concerns and build out modular pieces. The code itself is meant to abstract the API away from the main app in order to assure loose coupling.

I generated integrations tests when building. Thankfully, the service offers a sandbox server to test against. This meant that as I built the functionality I could fill in steps for the integration test to follow up to and including the interaction with the sandbox server.
