best ways to test an API code example
Example 1: generating test data in api
For API Part: I use "https://www.mockaroo.com/" ==>
generates multiple format (CSV, JSON, XML, etc)
Example 2: what to test in api
Request Payload has
ENDPOINT (Specific URL where we send our requests to a certain web service. )
METHOD (Get•Post•Put•Patch•Delete)
HEADERS(Represents the metadata of request
or response. Like basically we can verify
the object type we are sending etc )
PARAMETERS(Parameters are to specifiying
even more about the request we are sending
like what specific resources needs to be returned etc.)
BODY(Body is where we sent or received the request we made)
For the repsonse
Basically we are checking response body
to verify if request matches with response.
In the response we are verifying
(body, status code, header, response time,
test structure of json against the given jsonSchema)
