SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides framework-agnostic guidance for testing HTTP API routes and endpoints across any backend framework (Express, Next.js API Routes, FastAPI, Django REST, Flask, etc.).

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Test Types: Unit, Integration, End-to-End testing patterns for API routes.
  • Authentication Testing: JWT Cookie, Bearer tokens, and API key patterns.
  • HTTP Method Coverage: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, and error handling.

Quick Start

Write a simple test to verify that a protected route returns 200 when authenticated and 401 when not.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test API routes across different frameworks like Express, FastAPI, and Django?

Framework-agnostic API route testing applies consistent patterns across Express, Next.js, FastAPI, Django REST, Flask, and other backends. Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests that validate routes independently of framework specifics, using standard HTTP methods and response assertions.

How do I test protected API endpoints with JWT and Bearer token authentication?

Test JWT Cookie and Bearer token authentication by writing test cases that verify protected routes return 200 when valid credentials are present and 401 when missing or invalid. Include tests for token parsing, expiration, and malformed tokens.

What HTTP methods and scenarios should I cover when testing API routes?

API route testing covers GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE methods plus error handling. Test success paths with valid payloads, failure paths with invalid data, authentication edge cases, and HTTP status codes to ensure endpoints behave correctly across all scenarios.

Can I use the same testing approach for both unit and integration tests on API endpoints?

Yes, framework-agnostic testing patterns enforce consistent authentication coverage, response validation, and test recipes for unit, integration, and end-to-end scenarios. The same route-testing principles apply across test scopes without framework lock-in.

Do I need different test setups for API key, JWT cookie, and Bearer token authentication?

All three authentication patterns—API keys, JWT cookies, and Bearer tokens—use the same testing framework applied to route handlers. Tests verify credential presence, validation logic, and proper 401 responses, regardless of authentication method.
