Lesson 6 - Applying what we've learned - Write another simple GET check!

Title: Write another simple GET check!

Time: 10-30 minutes

Purpose: To practice our skills at writing checks similar to the one we’ve already written (a simple GET check).

Introduction:
At the end of Lesson 6 I challenged you to write another simple GET check to practice our new skills.

Activity:

  • Choose a scenario to automate
    • It can be a scenario from our priority list, or you can make one up
    • It should be simple, and for a GET method
    • Some examples:
      • Check that a GET of a single todo item that exists returns a 200 OK (hint: you’ll need to change the URL the client uses)
      • Check that a GET of a single todo item that doesn’t exist (id of 100000 maybe) returns a 404 Not Found (hint: you’ll need to change the URL the client uses)
      • Check that a GET of a single todo item with an id of ‘abcd’ returns ??? (you’ll need to try that out in the Swagger - does the response code make sense?)
  • Write your check, and verify that it passes
  • Share on this thread:
    • What scenario did you try?
    • Are you stuck anywhere?
    • Did you learn anything new about our API?
