Creating and updating Challenge

Ok. In the last video we got a decent set up for posting or putting. but now lets create a couple more to ensure the apis are behaving correctly.

Here's the logical flow the tests should go.

1. post new data
2. get data to ensure it was created with specific fields
3. put update the data id / name / whatever else
4. get data to ensure it was updated correctly

there are a few different ways to do this. it could be single test or you could split them up into different tests like we did before. however, try to create two different files with the stored data so we can re-use them! 🧙 best of luck!

STOP

Danger zone, do not proceed unless you gave it your all!
