Charter 4: source, entity, sensor_type exploration

Charter:

Explore source, entity and sensor type with a JSON response editing tool to observe the handling of bad input

Status: Decision was made to not do this

Testers:

• Maxwell Nyamunda

Date:

• TBD

Duration:

• 45-90 mins

Scope:

• Using a tool similar to man in the middle proxy, to see how the system and database handles bad input in the specific key types. (Such as null)

References:

• List of possible sensor_types, sources, and entities for in-situ request here. sensor_types: low cost, reference grade, enitity: Community Organization, Governmental Organization, Private Organization. api_source: OpenAQ

Test Approach:

Create an in-situ request and intercept a document before it goes into the database collection. Inject the specified fields with unexpected data. See how they are handled. This also tests schema validation in mongoDB?
