Design and Build Great Web APIs

Solution for Chapter 9: Testing APIs

In the exercise for this chapter (Chapter 9, ​Testing APIs​), your task is to create a Postman test collection for your credit-check API project and write two tests: a “happy path” test for the Home resource (http://localhost:8181/) and a “sad path” test for the From resource (http://localhost:8181/form/). You were supplied with extensive instructions for each test.

For extra credit, you were given the task to export the completed tests and use the newman command-line utility to run the tests locally.

Note: Before you start this exercise, make sure your local version of the credit-check API that you built in the last chapter is up and running. You can use the copy of that service in the /testing/exercises/before/credit-check ...
