 ### Writing Test Specs
 
 Thanks to [supertest](https://github.com/visionmedia/supertest) and [MongoDB In-Memory Server](https://github.com/nodkz/mongodb-memory-server), test specs can be written to cover nearly end-to-end request processing workflow (only _sendMail_ and _sendSMS_ need to be mocked). This allows test specs to anchor onto business requirements rather than program units such as functions or files, resulting in regression tests that are more resilient to code refactoring.
