Rick and Morty API tests

The idea of this repo is to add a bunch of rick and morty api (and UI) tests with different languages and frameworks. Practice making the best tests in each language and each type. Research and compare different testing libraries and techniques.

The Tests

Tests for each language will be broken up into different directories. Each directory will have and API test directory and a UI test directory. Each directory will have a Makefile with standard commands that will get each test suite going for that language.

Makefile Commands

make build: setup the dirctory with the language and packages needed to run the tests make test-api: run the API tests for that language and test framework make test-ui: run the UI tests for that language and test framework

API Tests for each language

Each language will have the following API Tests:

Character

Test	Assertions	Endpoint	Notes
char_schema	Validate that the character schema is consistent	NA	See character schema for more information
get_all_chars_preamble	Preamble for characters list is accurate with count, page, next and prev pages	api/character	The premble is the data above the results list
get_all_chars_paginated	Results are paginated and not all characters are returned in one go	api/character
get_all_chars_pages	validate that the characters are different on each page and no repeated data exists	api/character
get_single_character	A single character can be retireved properly	api/character/[id]	Characters can be retrieved by ID appropriately
get_multiple_characters_csv	multple characters can be rerieved from the API	api/character/[id],[id],[id]	how many characters can be retireved at once?
get_multiple_characters_array	multple characters can be rerieved from the API	api/character/[[id],[id],[id]]	how many characters can be retireved at once?
get_characters_by_filter_name	characters can be returned by matching certain criteria	api/character/?name=rick	Filters are passed as url params

get_characters_by_filter_gender	characters can be returned by matching certain criteria	api/character/?gender=genderless
get_characters_by_filter_invalid_param	filtering by an invalid status provides a friendly error message	api/character/?invalid=true	The should provide a friendly error
get_invalid_character	Make sure the API handles looking for invalid characters	api/character/[invalidID]	API should return proper, user friendly error and code
get_multiple_characters_invalid_csv	API handles retrieving characters with invalid values	api/character/[invID],[id],[id]
get_multiple_characters_invalid_csv_spacing	API handles retrieving characters with invalid values	api/character/[invID], [id], [id]
get_multiple_characters_csv_max	API can a large list of specific characters	api/character/[invID],[id],[id]	Find the max characters the API can handle
get_multiple_characters_invalid_array	The API should handle retrieving an invalid character ID in the array	api/character/[[id],[invId],[id]]
get_multiple_characters_invalid_array_spacing	API handles retrieving characters with invalid values	api/character/[[ID], [id], [id]]
get_multiple_characters_invalid_array_max	API can handle a large list of specific characters or provides friendly max error	api/character/[invID], [id], [id]
