endpoint users testing code example
Example 1: how do you do positive api testing
How I do positive testing in api,
- I send valid path and query parameters,
- valid headers,
- valid request body to valid url and verify that
- response status code is correct and
- response body is as expected
How I do negative testing in api,
- I send invalid request parameters
- or invalid headers
- or invalid request json body and verify
that response status code is not 200
- and response body contains error message
(for example there are 100 employees numbered
from 1 to 100 I send 101 as a parameter and I
should be able see 404 Not Found
The requested resource was not found.)
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)
