The Challenge

Task Overview

Refactor the executeStandardPTOperations function in Node.js, where “PT” stands for “Purs transaction”. Additionally, write a unit test for this function.

Objectives

1. Refactor the function:

   • Improve readability, maintainability, testability, and understandability.
   • Comment the code as needed.
   • Optimize for latency where possible.
   • Fix any anti-patterns, sloppiness, or potential bugs.

2. Write Unit Tests:

   • Choose any testing framework.
   • Ensure comprehensive test coverage.
   • Tests should be readable and clearly indicate the test cases.
   • Tests should fail if significant logic changes are made to the function.

Key Points

• The code was functional when retired, so no bugs are expected.
• Some variables, such as insertfedNowPaymentSQL, are not defined and can be set as constants.
• Mock the RDS calls.
• Creative freedom is allowed, but language changes are limited to Golang or a JS framework.
• State all assumptions in a comment or a separate markdown file.

Evaluation Criteria

• Refactoring: Focus on readability, maintainability, testability, and error/bug handling.
• Unit Testing: Emphasize readability and coverage of tests.
