Questions:

  • If the comments are not accessible now, it's an internal problem, is it important enough to test for this?
  • If the comments are accessible, for example using /api/artciel/1/comments, can't we just delete the user and try to access his comments through the article? #public-api-first

  • Not from API POV, but for the developers to make sure the database is in the state they think it is. so yes IMO
  • if there is such an endpoint you can test it like this. but it's not always the case.

Does the following rule make sense:

To minimize the tests coupling to the internals, approach it using the outer API that is available

  1. Great: HTTP API
  2. hmm OK: Public object (e.g. facade or service layer)
    [If it's not accessible by neither of those, I hardly see how those records have any meaning]
  3. Not good: Use the ORM/DAL public API
  4. Worst: Bypass the entire world and approach the DB directly
