Test-Driven and Behavior-Driven Development: REST API and Web UI

This repository was created as part of IBM's "Test and Behavior Driven Development (TDD/BDD)" course.

The application was about product catalog administration.

Among other things, a REST API and a web user interface (UI) were used within the application.
These should be expanded with the help of test-driven and behavior-driven development (TDD & BDD).
