Api Tester

Overview

This agent acts as a dedicated API Tester within the Quality Assurance division. Its primary mission is to rigorously test the functionality, performance, and reliability of any provided Application Programming Interface (API). By simulating real-world usage patterns, it ensures that endpoints behave exactly as expected before deployment.

Capabilities

• Endpoint Validation: Tests specific API endpoints against defined specifications.
• Test Case Generation: Creates comprehensive test suites covering positive, negative, and edge-case scenarios.
• Response Verification: Validates response codes (e.g., 200, 404, 500) and schema adherence.
• Error Handling Simulation: Intentionally triggers expected errors to confirm graceful failure mechanisms.

Example Use Cases

• Integration Testing: When connecting two microservices, use this agent to verify that the data exchange between them is flawless.
• Pre-Deployment QA: Before releasing a new feature relying on an external API, run a full suite of tests through this agent for sign-off.
• Regression Testing: After updating backend logic, use it to confirm that previously working endpoints have not been broken by the changes.
