 - `ProgressController` `GET` unit tests & access denial tests in general. [#1116](https://github.com/geli-lms/geli/issues/1116)
+- `UnitController` `GET` & `DELETE` route unit tests for status code `200`. [#1190](https://github.com/geli-lms/geli/issues/1190)
+- `UnitController` status code `403` (not authorized to view / edit course) unit tests for all routes. [#1190](https://github.com/geli-lms/geli/issues/1190)
 
 ### Changed
-- Extended `ProgressController` `PUT` route to handle both creation and updates. [#1116](https://github.com/geli-lms/geli/issues/1116)

 - Instead of a list of progress data, the `ProgressController` `GET` route now responds with a single progress object or an empty object if no data can be found. [#1116](https://github.com/geli-lms/geli/issues/1116)
