TicketSwap assessment

Your assignment is to implement a new marketplace system for selling and buying tickets. Some tests are already written and there is a basic implementation for you to finish. Even though it is not real code, please treat it as if it would be deployed to thousands of users.

There are some concrete classes for implementation and there are some unit tests. Your job is to:

• Make sure all the business logic below is implemented and tested
• Make sure all the tests pass
• Implement the missing functionality in the skipped tests

The business rules are as follows:

• A listing can contain multiple tickets.
• Tickets can contain multiple barcodes.
• Sellers can create listings with tickets.
• Buyers can buy individual tickets from a listing.
• Once all tickets have been sold for a listing, it is no longer for sale.
• It should not be possible to create a listing with duplicate barcodes in it.
• It should not be possible to create a listing with barcodes found within another listing.
• Though, it should be possible for the last buyer of a ticket, to create a listing with that ticket (based on barcode).

You are free, encouraged even, to rewrite any part of the implementation, tests or overall design as you see fit. You are also free to add any library that you find useful. We do however ask that you do not use a database or any persistence system. If you have any questions you can always contact us.

Bonus

We know some sellers have nefarious plans and try to scam buyers. To prevent that, we want to only sell listings that have been verified by an admin. Make the implementation, and the accompanying unit tests, to be able to verify listings and only buy tickets from verified listings.

Handing in the assessment

When you're finished developing the application and you've committed your work, you can zip the entire folder (don't forget the .git hidden folder), and send it to us in reply to the email you got with this assessment. If there are issues sending the zip file, please use a service like https://wetransfer.com to upload the zip file there and send us a link to download the files.
