Demo API test automation with Javascript

Project idea

Demo basic test automation for APIs with the help of:

• JavaScript
• node.js
• babel
• Jest
• axios
• ajv
• libxmljs

TDD methodology is used to write tests first and then write functions to satisfy them.

SUT (Software under test)

Go REST

Tests demonstrated here

1. GET requests
2. POST requests
3. PUT/PATCH requests
4. DELETE request

Installation instructions

1. Clone this repository
2. cd into the cloned folder
3. Run npm install
4. Open Go REST and generate access token following instructions on the site.
5. Update TOKEN constant in ./src/utils/constants.js with the token generated in step 4.
6. Execute tests with npm run test

In case something isn't working after the installation:

1. Delete package-lock.json and node_modules folder
2. Run npm install again.

Additional notes

• Some tests (3 at the time of writing this doc) will fail due to actual bugs found by this automation framework.
• Some tests may randomly fail because the API is open for anybody to make changes at any time.

Enjoy! :)
