smoketest

To run an API health check, execute a smoketest against the running backend server to automatically identify endpoints, authenticate access, execute curl requests, and verify response statuses. It systematically tests endpoint stability for routine maintenance.

Manual API testing for pre-release backend verification is a systematic approach to ensure key endpoints function correctly before deploying new code. It discovers accessible endpoints, handles authentication, and analyzes server logs for errors or warnings.

Yes, backend endpoint testing automatically handles authentication to ensure correct access levels during the API health check. It authenticates access before executing curl requests to verify server responses and scan logs for warnings.

To analyze server logs for errors after endpoint testing, the smoketest scans server logs for warnings and errors as part of its comprehensive API health check. It then summarizes the test results and log findings in a simple table format.

The best way to verify server health after modifications is to run a smoketest, which performs comprehensive manual API testing on the running backend. It identifies endpoints, executes curl requests, and analyzes server logs to confirm critical functionalities work.
