Procore Deterministic Development Loop

Overview

Separate fast fixture tests from deliberate provider tests. A Developer Sandbox supplies isolated seed data and separate OAuth credentials, but it is not a production replica and cannot be casually refreshed, so tests must own their records and cleanup.

Prerequisites

• Endpoint contract and failure case under test
• Sanitized request and response fixtures with stable identifiers
• Developer Sandbox app, sandbox credentials, and a dedicated test project
• Cleanup rule for every test-created Procore record

Instructions

Step 1: Define the contract

Capture method, normalized route, required headers, request schema, expected status, pagination metadata, and error shape. Keep provider-generated IDs outside golden assertions.
