How to use this tool

1. Specify HTTP Method & Route

Select GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE and input endpoint path (e.g. /api/v1/orders).

2. Configure Request Payload & Params

Enter sample request JSON body, required query parameters, or URL path parameters.

3. Choose Test Categories

Select Positive (200/201), Negative Validation (400 Bad Request), Auth/Security (401/403), and Rate Limiting (429).

4. Copy Test Matrix & Script

Export tabular test cases or executable Playwright / Postman test script snippets.

Formula or logic used

REST API Verification Matrix Structure

Exhaustive API test suites test all branches of HTTP status codes, data types, authentication scopes, and edge boundary conditions.

  • 2xx Success: 200 OK (GET/PUT), 201 Created (POST), 204 No Content (DELETE)
  • 4xx Client Fault: 400 (Malformed JSON / Validation), 401 (Missing Token), 403 (Forbidden Scope), 404 (Not Found), 422 (Unprocessable Entity), 429 (Rate Limit)
  • 5xx Server Fault: 500 (Internal Unhandled Exception), 503 (Service Unavailable)
  • Security Checks: SQL injection strings, XSS scripts in payload, oversized payloads (> 5MB)

Examples

Example 1: POST /api/v1/users (User Registration)

Input: Method: POST, Payload: { email, password, name }.
Calculated Result: 8 test cases: Valid creation (201), Duplicate email (409), Weak password (422), Missing email (400), SQLi string (400 sanitized).

Covers contract compliance, data integrity, and security hardening.

Example 2: GET /api/v1/orders/:id (Retrieve Order)

Input: Method: GET, Path Param: orderId.
Calculated Result: 6 test cases: Valid order (200), Non-existent ID (404), Cross-tenant order ID (403 Forbidden), Invalid UUID syntax (400).

Ensures tenant isolation and defensive error handling.

Common use cases

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between 401 Unauthorized and 403 Forbidden?

401 indicates missing or invalid authentication credentials (user is unauthenticated). 403 means the user is authenticated but lacks the necessary permissions or role to access the resource.

Why should I test 429 Too Many Requests?

Testing rate limits ensures your API gateway protects backend databases from DDoS attacks, brute-force login attempts, and runaway scraping bots.

How do I test API idempotency?

Send the exact same request twice (especially for POST requests with an Idempotency-Key header or PUT requests) and verify that the resource is only created once and returns identical results.

Should API tests assert response times?

Yes! High-performance SLA test cases verify that endpoints return responses within expected thresholds (e.g. p95 < 200ms) under standard loads.
