What API Testing does

API Testing helps design test plans, cases, and risk analysis for REST, GraphQL, SOAP, gRPC, and WebSocket APIs. Use it when you need coverage for positive, negative, boundary, auth, and response validation scenarios.

API Testing is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. API Testing comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, ai-qa, ai-skills, ai-testing and ai-tools.

Documentation

README

API Testing (English)

Chinese version： See the corresponding Chinese skill.

When to Use

  • Need an API test plan, API cases, or API risk analysis.
  • The request involves REST, GraphQL, SOAP, gRPC, WebSocket, or mixed API behavior.

Workflow

  1. Read and follow the main prompt listed under Progressive disclosure (coverage, structure, quality bar).
  2. Add only project context that changes the result: scope, environment, constraints, risks, dependencies, expected deliverable.
  3. If input is incomplete, return a usable first draft and explicitly mark assumptions and gaps.
  4. Default to Markdown; switch formats only when the user asks.

Core Constraints

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
