Aspects of the application that need to have testing implemented

[J-avery32]

What follows is a list of tests that need to be implemented for the application:

• We must implement testing for the paging component of the API, including the possible exceptions that may arise from that
• We must implement testing to ensure that users who are not authenticated cannot access authenticated endpoints.
• We must test that the restful endpoints notify the user if the provided JSON is malformed (e.g. incorrect syntax, this is different than ensuring that the JSON matches the schema)
• We might want to test that the JSON is validated correctly
• Currently, the compounds restful endpoints are not being tested, only the MongoCollectionDao for compounds, this needs to change
• We need to test the PUT methods

Finally: do we want to test the individual classes, the entire app end to end, or both? This is an important question to consider as I notice that we are being inconsistent about how testing is implemented. I propose that we only test the restful methods and not test any of the underlying services DAOs or resources themselves.

Although, due to the fact that this is a large app, perhaps it will be a good idea to test the underlying classes as well.
