API Test Actions

DevAssure is a unified intelligent test automation platform designed to automate Web Apps, Mobile Apps and APIs. Being a no code automation platform, DevAssure provides built in libraries and actions to help engineers automate their API tests without having to write a single line of code.

DevAssure supports a range of actions specifically designed for API testing. These actions enable engineers to interact with APIs, verify responses, and extract data from API calls, enhancing automated testing capabilities.

Additionally these actions can also be interleaved with Web App and Mobile App automation. Validations can be simplified using DevAssure's API actions and pre-test execution data preparations and post test execution data clean up can also be performed.

ActionDescription
Call API (api)Initiates a call to the specified API.
Verify Status Code of (http response)Checks if the status code of the HTTP response matches the expected value.
Verify Text of (http response)Verifies if the text content of the HTTP response matches the expected text.
Verify JSON Body of (http response)Checks if the JSON body of the HTTP response matches the expected JSON structure or content.

Checks if the status code of the HTTP response matches the expected value.

  • Usage:

    Verify status code of http response apiResponse == 200

  • Arguments:

    • http response: The HTTP response from the API call.
    • comparator: A comparison method used to verify the status code of http response.
