Thoughts on Software Engineering

Integration testing is a technique employed to assert whether an end-to-end scenario is working - where all pieces of the software components (typically non-user-interaction interface) are being tested together. For the article today, I am going to talk about how we can achieve integration testing with the Web API we have created - that is secured by Azure AD OAuth.
