Overview

Test framework written in python as demo for testing RESTful API of https://swapi.dev/

How to run tests

pre-installed on local:

• allure commandline
• python 3.9 or higher
• pip

by script

Run script

test.sh

manually:

1. Create virtual env

python3 -m venv env

2. Activate env

Libraries used by project:

1. Python 3.9 and higher
2. pytest
3. pytest-timeout

Improvements

There is plenty room for refactor I could:

• extract asserts to some helper module .e.g new folder/package helpers > asserts.py etc
• handle better constants.py to use and store data need it by tests
• add more negative tests around each endpoint
• test full content of response bodies returned by service
• etc..

Estimation

It took me around 2 working days, of which half day I've tried to implement pytest-bdd but I didn't continue with that.
