API Test

Practical working label — agree its meaning within your project

An API Test is an automated test case that sends real HTTP requests to a running service, asserts response codes, headers, and payload structures, and records results in CI. Tests are derived from the OpenAPI spec.

When to use api test

Create API tests for any endpoint that is part of a public contract or that drives critical business flows.

A practical example of api test

For example, a test suite sends a POST to `/orders` with a valid body and asserts a 201 response containing an orderId field.
