Requirements and Goals of the System

Our Pastebin service should meet the following requirements:

Functional Requirements

Users should upload or “paste” their data and get a unique URL to access it.

Users will only be able to upload text.

Data and links will automatically expire after a specific timespan; users should also specify expiration time.

Users should optionally be able to pick a custom alias for their paste.

Non-Functional Requirements

The system should be highly reliable, any data uploaded should not be lost.

The system should be highly available. This is required because if our service is down, users will not access their Pastes.

Users should be able to access their Pastes in real-time with minimum latency.

Paste links should not be guessable (not predictable).

public class AddSnippetsIntegrationTests extends SnippetsIntegrationTests {

  private static final
  MockHttpServletRequestBuilder ADD_SNIPPET_REQUEST_EMPTY_CONTENT;

  private static final
  MockHttpServletRequestBuilder ADD_SNIPPET_REQUEST_VALID;

  private static final String DUMMY_TITLE = "Title";

  private static final String DUMMY_CONTENT = TestUtil.generateDummyString(140);

  private static final Snippet.SyntaxHighlighting DUMMY_SYNTAX_HIGHLIGHTING =
      Snippet.SyntaxHighlighting.NONE;

  private static final String DUMMY_OWNER_PASSWORD = "Password";

  private static final Snippet.Visibility DUMMY_VISIBILITY =
      Snippet.Visibility.PUBLIC;


  static {
    ADD_SNIPPET_REQUEST_EMPTY_CONTENT =
        post("/").param("title", DUMMY_TITLE)
                 .param("content", "")
                 .param("syntaxHighlighting", DUMMY_SYNTAX_HIGHLIGHTING.name())
                 .param("ownerPassword", DUMMY_OWNER_PASSWORD)
                 .param("visibility", DUMMY_VISIBILITY.name());

    ADD_SNIPPET_REQUEST_VALID =
        post("/").param("title", DUMMY_TITLE)
                 .param("content", DUMMY_CONTENT)
                 .param("syntaxHighlighting", DUMMY_SYNTAX_HIGHLIGHTING.name())
                 .param("expirationMoment",
                     SnippetForm.ExpirationMoment.IN_TEN_MINUTES.name())
                 .param("ownerPassword", DUMMY_OWNER_PASSWORD)
                 .param("visibility", DUMMY_VISIBILITY.name());
  }

  @Value("${snippet.idSymbols}")
  private char[] snippetIdSymbols;

  @Value("${snippet.idLength}")
  private int snippetIdLength;

  @Test
  public void add_ShouldTryToRenderAddSnippetPage() throws Exception {
    mockMvc.perform(get("/"))
           .andExpect(status().isOk())
           .andExpect(view().name("add"))
           .andExpect(forwardedUrlPattern("/**/add.*"));
  }

Extended Requirements

Analytics, e.g., how many times a redirection happened?

Our service should also be accessible through REST APIs by other services.
