Api Test Generator

What it does

This skill generates comprehensive integration tests for API endpoints, ensuring thorough testing of various aspects like HTTP methods, status codes, authentication, authorization, request/response validation, and error handling. It supports both REST APIs and GraphQL queries and mutations. The generated tests cover a wide range of scenarios to ensure robust API functionality.

When to use it

• Generate tests for existing REST API endpoints.
• Test GraphQL API queries and mutations.
• Validate the contracts between your application and its APIs.
• Verify authentication and authorization mechanisms within an API.
• Ensure proper handling of errors and expected status codes by the API.

Key capabilities

• Generates tests for REST API endpoints, covering all HTTP methods.
• Supports testing GraphQL queries and mutations.
• Tests success cases (200, 201, 204), validation errors (400, 422), authentication errors (401), authorization errors (403), not found errors (404), conflict errors (409), and server errors (500).
• Validates request bodies, query parameters, and response schemas.

Example prompts

• "Generate tests for the /api/users endpoint."
• "Create a test suite for all API endpoints defined in src/routes/users.py."
• "Test authentication requirements for the /api/users/:id endpoint."

Tips & gotchas

• The skill requires access to route definitions (e.g., src/routes/users.py, src/controllers/user_controller.py) to identify endpoints and their associated parameters.
• It's designed for integration testing, focusing on API functionality rather than unit-level code coverage.
