API testing basics

Number of APIs: 7

🧪 Get started here

Qodex's powerful [scripting feature] helps you to write a range of API tests in JavaScript, including integration, regression, and contract tests.

This template demonstrates how to work with the Qodex basic test syntax to test a single HTTP API request.

🔖 How to use this template?

Step 1: Send requests

Send the sample requests and view the response and test results.

Step 2: Update the sample request URL

Replace the sample request URLs with your desired API endpoints.

Step 3: Customize tests

Customize the tests in the Tests tab if needed. Don't forget to save your changes.

💪 Quick tips for writing tests

• Organize your test scenarios by grouping your requests in collections and folders, and naming them descriptively
• Document your API’s requirements using markdown in the descriptions
• Use variables to simulate more sophisticated user flows
• Common tests that will be run after every request can be added to collection-level tests or folder-level tests
