REST API Automation Training (Without automation framework)

[alang-dev]

As part of the training on REST API automation testing, you are tasked with developing automated tests for a REST API using JavaScript's Fetch API along with Mocha and Chai libraries.

Requirements:

1. Test Suite:

   • Create a test suite for the REST API tests using Mocha.
   • Organize test cases into meaningful categories (e.g., endpoints, functionality).

2. Test Cases:

   • Write test cases to cover various scenarios of API endpoints (e.g., GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
   • Ensure to include positive and negative test cases, boundary cases, and edge cases.
   • Test different request methods, request parameters, headers, and response status codes.
   • Test for valid and invalid responses, error handling, and edge conditions.
   • Test for file upload/download

3. API Requests:

   • Utilize JavaScript's Fetch API to send HTTP requests to the API endpoints.
   • Write functions to perform API requests and handle responses using Fetch API.
   • Handle authentication if required by the API.

4. Assertions:

   • Use Chai assertions to verify the correctness of API responses.
   • Verify response status codes, response body content, headers, etc.

5. Reporting:

   • Ensure that test results are clearly reported, indicating which tests passed and which failed.
   • Use Mocha's reporting features or integrate with other reporting tools if necessary.
