Old demo: Typescript+MochaJS+ChaiJS+RequestsJS for API testing. RAML validation as a bonus!

Old Demo: Typescript tests against fake API server

This project is for API tests presentation as demo code

In this project i showing POSSIBLE (my vision) of API testing framework that needs to be scaled to big test numbers. It can be overengineering if test number will be low.

In this project i demonstating aproach how Models data objects could be built, how create Models with Builders, how can controllers be used. And as a bonus - possible way to use automatic data validation against documentation (RAMLvalidator) - this can greatly reduce number of assertions in tests, since most of shape assertions will be done automatically.

API Server

https://my-json-server.typicode.com/Xotabu4/demo

Thanks this great tool for such easy API mocking: https://my-json-server.typicode.com/

RAML file

https://raml.org/

Is written by my own and located: ./api.raml

Provides description of what API must looks like.

Run tests

npm test

Used technologies

• typescript
• ts-node
• mocha
• chai
• allure reports
• raml-parser

Allure HTML reports

// TODO: wrap to docker container For reports generation - java is needed.

After tests executed, they put .xml files with results into ./allure-results/ folder

To convert those .xml into .html report - call npm run report After, open ./index.html file in generated ./allure-report folder.

Keep in mind, that report is re-created each time you call npm run report - so older reports will be overwritten
