title: building a python api testing framework: a step-by-step tutorial
api testing is a crucial aspect of software development to ensure the proper functioning and integration of various services. in this tutorial, we will walk through the process of building a simple yet effective python api testing framework using the popular requests library.
make sure you have the following installed:
create a new directory for your api testing project and navigate to it:
let's start by creating a simple test case to check the status code of an api endpoint. create a file named test_example.py and add the following code:
this test case uses the requests library to send a get request to the jsonplaceholder api and asserts that the response status code is equal to 200.
run the test using the following command:
you should see output indicating that the test passed.
let's enhance our framework by creating a testrunner class to handle test execution and reporting. create a file named test_runner.py:
this testrunner class uses unittest.testloader().discover to automatically discover and run all test files matching the pattern 'test_*.py'.
modify your test case file (test_example.py) to include the new testrunner:
now, run the tests using the testrunner:
the output should be similar to the previous step, but now you have a more extensible testing framework.
congratulations! you've created a simple python api testing framework using the requests library and unittest. you can now expand this framework to include
