by script

manually:

2. pytest

Improvements

There is plenty room for refactor I could:

• extract asserts to some helper module .e.g new folder/package helpers > asserts.py etc
• handle better constants.py to use and store data need it by tests
• add more negative tests around each endpoint
• test full content of response bodies returned by service
• etc..

Estimation

It took me around 2 working days, of which half day I've tried to implement pytest-bdd but I didn't continue with that.
