This blog post is actually a draft for a standard operating procedure for my software development and consulting business. I’ve come across the task of writing tests for HTTP APIs for three or four times in the last couple of months. I’ve tried multiple ways of writing automated tests and this is the method I’ve converged on. TypeScript, Jest, and supertest appear to work well together and are sufficient to implement concise tests.

You are reading a success story of avoiding premature optimization. I had to design an API for a service that receives some geographical data and returns the same data with additional information for each point of interest.
