# Thoughts on testing

I would like to be able to quickly test a change in the repo code.
For that i need:
A test server with federation enabled
A test user
A test repo
A test auth token (?)

A test request as input value to the API
An expected result for comparison with the output value.

Tests that provide some examples are:

tests/integration/api_activitypub_person_test.go

tests/integration/api_token_test.go

maybe tests/integration/api_repo_test.go
