Foreign Travel Content Checker

This is a standard Ruby on Rails app that checks to see if a number of desired sections exist - and have content - on the 'Entry requirements' section of each country of within the Foreign travel advice country pages.

These pages are maintained within the Travel Advice Publisher application by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).

The app is intended as a temporary service, so it:

• is intended for use by the GDS Coronavirus team and the FCDO content design team as a means of checking the Foreign Travel Advice 'Entry requirements' section for completeness.
• does not conform to the principles set out in The GDS Way.
• has a deadline of 1st June 2022, beyond this date the application will cease to function.
