Web application project.

An application that calculates the total "active" distance and pace for a running activity with multiple split laps of effort and recovery.

I undertook the task of learning to build a fully functioning web application to address a few points:

to scratch a nerdy itch to know whether the running sections of my regular run/walks were getting longer and faster.

to gain clarity on implementation and unit testing.

a desire to better understand the potential overlap between the different types of automated testing.

Having learned to code by writing tests and having been in the position in the past of making the mistake of maintaining a test suite that tests the bulk of the acceptance criteria through the UI, I knew that learning to build an application of this sort would help me avoid this mistake again.
