SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables automated verification that web services conform to expected API routes and payload structures, ensuring contract consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Contract Validation: Checks that ASP.NET Web services call IDownstreamApi with correct parameters and payloads.
  • Mock Testing: Allows testing of service interactions and request formats without deploying or executing actual network requests.
  • Use Case: Useful for developers ensuring that their API calls adhere to specified contracts during unit testing or CI pipelines.

Quick Start

Use the downstream-api-contract-tests Skill to validate that your API method constructs the correct outbound request for AddPlatformToEngagementAsync.

Frequently Asked Questions about downstream-api-contract-tests

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test API contract integrity without running live services?▼

You can verify API contract integrity by mocking downstream calls and inspecting invocation parameters to ensure request routes and payloads match schema expectations without executing actual network requests.

Can I validate ASP.NET web service payloads during unit testing?▼

Yes, you can validate ASP.NET web service payloads during unit testing by mocking downstream API calls and checking that your service constructs the correct outbound request parameters and payload structures.

What is API contract testing and when do I need it?▼

API contract testing is the automated verification that web services conform to expected API routes and payload structures. You need it to catch request discrepancies and ensure API consistency before deployment.

Does contract testing work with CI pipelines for ASP.NET applications?▼

Contract testing works in CI pipelines by validating that API methods construct correct outbound requests and payloads without deploying live services, ensuring API consistency during automated builds.

Why do my API calls fail to match expected payload schemas during integration testing?▼

API calls fail payload schema matching when outbound request routes and payloads do not conform to the expected contract. Mocking downstream calls and inspecting invocation parameters catches these discrepancies before deployment.
