Quality Engineering Coding Challenge: Web Service

The Task
Create a web service which combines two existing web services. The basic requirements of the
task are:

1. Fetch a random name from ​https://api.namefake.com/

2. Fetch a random Chuck Norris joke from
http://api.icndb.com/jokes/random?firstName=John&lastName=Doe&limitTo=[nerdy]
3. Combine the results, replacing the first name and last name with the corresponding first
name and last name from the random name service, and return them to the user.
4. Include tests for your web service
5. Containerize your web service (using Docker)

Time Guidelines
There is no time limit, however we recommend you spend no more than 2-3 hours on this task.
If you run out of time, please provide comments/bullet points as to what needs to be done.

You should aim to at least have running code which meets the basic requirements of the task.

Please let us know how much time you spend on the task when you submit your answer.

Implementation requirements
Create a git repository that contains a web service. The web service should be written in either
Go​, ​Python, or Java​. Tests written should leverage a testing framework appropriate for the
language.

Add some unit tests in your chosen testing framework. Create a list of any additional
assertions/tests in the README.md that would be needed to validate this web service.

Write a README.md file which (at a minimum) provides instructions for building the
containerized image and running the web service as a container. For example, the “docker
build” and “docker run” commands. Also provide instructions for running any tests provided.

Post artifacts
Please post the code, README.md and any other supporting files as a GitHub gist for Tigera to
review.

Using the new web service

$ curl ‘http://localhost:5000’
