Challenge Description
Using restful-booker-platform / automationintesting.online create a model of the application that shares details such as:
- How the front-end of the application is built and how it connects to the back-end
- What APIs the platform has and which API connects to which
- How each part of the system talks to one another
- What tools and libraries it uses
Hints:
- You will need to research the application in different ways. For example the product itself, the codebase and its documentation.
- You can use a range of tools such as Miro, Visio, Diagram.net, etc. to create your model
- Working collaboratively can help add different perspectives to your model
What you’ll learn
- Create a model of a system that visually describes how it works
Prerequisites
This activity requires either access to automationintesting.online or for you to run restful-booker-platform to run locally.
