Snapshot is a type of output comparison testing. This type of testing ensures that your API response adheres to the orginally accepted structure/value of your response.
This collection contains the script to facilitate Snapshot testing in Qodex along with 1 demo request.
🔖 How to use this template
To setup Snapshot Testing for your APIs you can use this collection as template.
Step 1: Send the request and get a response for the API you want to create a Snapshot test.
Step 2: Save the response as an Example to that request. This will work as your Snapshot.
Step 3: Create a Mock server on top of the collection.
Step 4: Update the snapshotURL in Collection Variables with the Mock server url that you created in the above step.
Step 5: This collection contains three different Snapshot testing strategies.
- Response should have Snapshot as its subset (default)
- Response should match its saved Snapshot
- Response should match the JSON Schema generated from saved Snapshot
You can choose any of them according to your use case and your response structure.
