Tests Performed

RSS Feeds:

• Feeds are defined.
  Web App Must have a well defined feed array. Array shoud not be empty.
• Feed URLs are defined and are not empty.
  This will test the Feed's URL for being defined and not empty.
• Feed names are defined and are not empty.
  This will test the Feed's Name for being a String, defined and not empty.

Menu Bar :

• Menu Bar is hidden on page load.
  This will check for Menu's deafult behaviour when page loads. The menu shoud be hidden by default.
• Menu Bar appears on first click.
• Menu Bar disappears on second click.
  This will check for Menu's behaviour when the hamburger icon is clicked. First click should toggle the menu's visiblity to show. And the following second click should toggle visiblity to hidden.

Default Header Title:

• Default Header Title should be 'Feeds'.
  Header Title must set to 'Feeds' before the async call loads the feed title.

Intial RSS Feed has Entries:

• Intial feed must have entries.
  This Spec will check that default feed must have atleast one entry on the web page.

Feed Content Changes on Changing Feed :

• New feed entries loads on changing feed. The Feed will automatically change to a random feed, other than the current. The Jasmine spec check for the content and will switch the page back to deafult feed.
