Creating a Postman Collection for Testing Endpoints in the BankAccountAccess Module
To thoroughly test the endpoints in the BankAccountAccess module, we'll create a structured Postman collection. This collection will include tests for creating, modifying, viewing, and deleting BankAccountAccess objects, as well as testing various roles such as HolderAccess, SeniorManagerAccess, ManagerAccess, AgentAccess, AuditorAccess, and PoAAccess.
Here's a detailed approach to creating the Postman collection for each of these operations:
1. Base URL and Environment Setup
First, define your environment variables in Postman:
base_url: The base URL for your API, e.g., http://localhost:8080/api/
token: An authorization token for secure endpoints if necessary.
The base structure for all requests would be {{base_url}}/bank-account-access.
2. Create BankAccountAccess
Endpoint: POST /bank-account-access
Description: This endpoint is used to create a BankAccountAccess entry.
Successfully update an existing BankAccountAccess entry.
Handle validation errors for invalid or incomplete updates.
6. Delete BankAccountAccess
Endpoint: DELETE /bank-account-access/{id}
Description: Deletes a BankAccountAccess entry by its ID.
Test Scenarios:
Successfully delete an existing BankAccountAccess entry.
Handle attempts to delete non-existing entries (404 error).
7. Test Scenarios for Access Roles
7.1 HolderAccess
Endpoint: POST /bank-account-access/holder-access
Description: This endpoint automatically creates HolderAccess when a new account is created.
Test Scenarios:
Create an account and ensure that HolderAccess is automatically generated.
Suspend HolderAccess when transferring account ownership.
7.2 SeniorManagerAccess
Endpoint: POST /bank-account-access/senior-manager-access
Description: Creates SeniorManagerAccess for managing ManagerAccess roles.
Test Scenarios:
Successfully create SeniorManagerAccess.
Test updating or suspending SeniorManagerAccess.
7.3 ManagerAccess
Endpoint: POST /bank-account-access/manager-access
Description: Creates and manages ManagerAccess for the account.
Test Scenarios:
Successfully create and modify ManagerAccess.
Limit the scope of ManagerAccess to prevent unauthorized actions.
7.4 AgentAccess
Endpoint: POST /bank-account-access/agent-access
Description: Grants AgentAccess, allowing the agent to impersonate the holder in specific processes.
Test Scenarios:
Test the creation of AgentAccess and ensure it does not grant permission to manage access.
7.5 AuditorAccess
Endpoint: POST /bank-account-access/auditor-access
Description: Grants read-only access to auditors for reviewing account data.
Test Scenarios:
Test that auditors can view account data without modifying it.
Validate that unauthorized users cannot access the same data.
7.6 PoAAccess
Endpoint: POST /bank-account-access/poa-access
Description: Grants Power of Attorney access, allowing the user to act on behalf of the account holder.
Test Scenarios:
Create and test PoAAccess with different scopes.
Ensure revocation of PoAAccess is handled properly.
8. Error Handling and Edge Cases
Include tests for:
Invalid data (e.g., missing fields or incorrect formats).
Unauthorized access (e.g., attempting to modify access without proper permissions).
Expired or suspended access statuses.
9. Testing Open Banking Use Cases (Optional)
Since PoAAccess and ThirdPartyAccess can implement open banking concepts, you can include additional test cases for:
Account Information Consent (read-only access to account information).
Payment Initiation Consent (initiating payments on behalf of the account holder).
Confirmation of Funds Consent (verifying available funds).
10. Postman Collection Structure
Organize the Postman collection into folders for easy navigation:
Authentication: If your API requires authentication, have a folder for login and token generation.
BankAccountAccess:
POST Create BankAccountAccess.
GET All BankAccountAccess entries.
GET BankAccountAccess by ID.
PUT Update BankAccountAccess.
DELETE Delete BankAccountAccess.
Access Roles:
HolderAccess.
SeniorManagerAccess.
ManagerAccess.
AgentAccess.
AuditorAccess.
PoAAccess.
11. Environment Variables and Pre-Scripts
Use Postman environment variables (e.g., {{token}}, {{base_url}}) to make the requests reusable across different environments (development, staging, production).
Include pre-scripts to handle token refresh or any required setup steps before making the API requests.
