Intro

One of the things we do at Euromoney is publish and manage content. This assignment is to analyse text, detecting and filtering negative words.

  • This assignment takes 1-2 hours.
  • NUnit and Moq, references have been added using NuGet Packages.

Task requirements

  • All stories to be completed with an appropriate level of testing.
  • No actual storage implementation or databases are required, feel free to stub or mock any data access you need.
  • Reformat, refactor and rework the provided code in any way you see fit.
  • Code must be supported by tests to be "done-done".

Advice to candidates

  • You should approach this task in the same way that you would a real, production assignment. Do not 'code to the test'.
  • It is more important that you show the right approach than that you complete all the stories. If you run low on time, apply an MVP to the stories.
  • We will assume that the code you produce for this exercise reflects the kind of code you would write in a real-world situation, and assess accordingly.
