Library API

The document describes a library API with endpoints to add, get, and delete books from a database. It includes sample requests, responses, and JSON payloads for each endpoint. It also provides examples of automation scenarios that could be used to test the API functionality, including validating responses, using variables, and error handling.

Automation Scenarios to Test Library API -


Verify if API responses returns Success Codes with Proper Assertions
Verify if Response Json Schema is displayed as expected
Create Environment/Global/Collection variables to dynamically switch end points of APIs to test
in different stages of QA Life cycle
Pass response ID of Add Book to Get Book and Delete ID request Parameters for full functional
Automation Testing
Validate the book ID response calculation Logic
Validate if Get Book API retrieves the correct response with Book Details requested
Validate if Delete Book API successfully deleted Book
Implement Try Catch Error Handling Mechanism for every Automation test as Tear Down Script
If Book Already exists in DB, Implement Smart Strategy to delete the existing Book first before
Adding the Book again as Prerequisite Automation Step
Parse the complete Json response and verify if the values are displayed as expected
Generate Unique ISBN/ aisle value for every run to make Book Unique using Automation Script
Import the Book Details from CSV/Json without hard coding for Validating API’s
Run the APIs with multiple data sets by iterating the data from the CSV as a Data driven testing

What are Environments and variables in Postman?


An environment is a set of variables you can use in your Postman requests. You can use
environments to group related sets of values together and manage access to shared Postman data
if you are working as part of a team.

Variables allow you to store and reuse values in your requests and scripts. By storing a value in a
variable, you can reference it throughout your collections, environments, and requests—and if you
need to update the value, you only have to change it in one place. Using variables increases your
ability to work efficiently and minimizes the likelihood of error.
How to use Environments and Variables in Postman?

Variable scopes

Postman supports the following variable scopes:

 Global
 Collection
 Environment
 Data
 Local

Scripting in Postman
Postman contains a powerful runtime based on Node.js that allows you to add dynamic behavior to
requests and collections. This allows you to write test suites, build requests that can contain
dynamic parameters, pass data between requests, 

The pm object
You will carry out most of the Postman JavaScript API functionality
using “pm” which provides access to request and response data, and
variables.

Verify if there is an entry called Cypress.

Verify if Cypress entry has course Title and Price properties/keys

Verify if sum of API Courses equals to 90

Verify if Web Automation Course titles are shown as expected titles


Postman can also test Soap Webservices in addition to Rest HTTP requests

How Soap Webservices are different from Rest Services?

Rest API’s use HTTP protocol to send the request and receive the response

Whereas Soap Webservices/API’s use Soap Protocol to send the request ad


receive the response

In Soap Services, requests/responses are sent in XML Format.

What will we learn from this Course?

Soap Project in Postman
