SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Backend APIs often lack a UI for testing, making route discovery, endpoint validation, and consistent reporting tedious and error-prone. This Skill automates API discovery, tests endpoints with varied payloads, verifies authentication, and produces structured reports to accelerate QA.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discover endpoints from OpenAPI specs or source code
  • Validate responses against schemas, including auth checks and edge cases
  • Generate structured QA reports with pass/fail evidence for REST and GraphQL APIs

Quick Start

Run this skill against a running backend to automatically discover routes and start tests.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate API testing for backend services without a UI?

Automated API testing discovers routes from OpenAPI specs or source code, executes payload tests, verifies authentication, and generates structured QA reports for backend services lacking a UI.

Can I test both REST and GraphQL endpoints using the same automation tool?

Yes, you can test both REST and GraphQL endpoints. The automation discovers routes, validates responses against schemas, and checks authentication across both API types.

How do I discover API endpoints from OpenAPI specs for testing?

API endpoint discovery extracts routes directly from OpenAPI specs or source code. It validates these routes by executing tests with valid and invalid payloads to generate a structured QA report.

What is the best way to validate API authentication and handle edge case payloads?

Automated API testing validates endpoint responses against schemas, executing comprehensive tests with valid and invalid payloads while verifying authentication checks to capture edge case failures.

Do I need a running backend environment to execute automated API tests?

Yes, you need a running backend environment. The automation requires a live backend to discover routes, execute payload tests, verify authentication, and generate structured pass/fail QA reports.

How does automated API testing generate QA reports with pass and fail evidence?

Automated API testing generates structured QA reports by validating routes from OpenAPI specs, executing comprehensive payload tests, verifying authentication, and documenting pass/fail evidence for REST and GraphQL APIs.
