Testing your deployed API

Once your API is deployed on Talend Management Console, you can use Talend Cloud API Tester to run tests on it.

1. In Talend Cloud API Tester, open the Movie catalog API project.
2. Select the relevant environment and make sure that the endpoint is correct.

   Example

   

3. Click the icon to the right of Scenario 1 and select Copy.
4. Name the copy Scenario 2.
5. Copy the Add a movie requests twice and rename the copies Add a second movie and Add a third movie.
6. In each of the POST requests, enter a movie in the request body.

   Example

   <movie>
       <movieId>8</movieId>
       <title>Booksmart</title>
       <releaseYear>2019</releaseYear>
       <director>Olivia Wilde</director>
       <price>4.99</price>
   </movie>

   <movie>
       <movieId>9</movieId>
       <title>A Quiet Place</title>
       <releaseYear>2018</releaseYear>
       <director>John Krasinski</director>
       <price>4.99</price>
   </movie>

   <movie>
       <movieId>10</movieId>
       <title>Selma</title>
       <releaseYear>2014</releaseYear>
       <director>Ava DuVernay</director>
       <price>4.99</price>
   </movie>

7. Open the Get a list of movies request and add the following assertions:

   Source	Path selector	Operator	Expected value
   Status code	Not applicable	Equals	200
   XML body	//movies/movie[last() - 2]/title	Equals	${"Movie catalog API"."Scenario 2"."Add a movie"."request"."body".xPath("/movie/title")}
   XML body	//movies/movie[last() - 1]/title	Equals	${"Movie catalog API"."Scenario 2"."Add a second movie"."request"."body".xPath("/movie/title")}
   XML body	//movies/movie[last()]/title	Equals	${"Movie catalog API"."Scenario 2"."Add a third movie"."request"."body".xPath("/movie/title")}

   These assertions will check if the titles of the last three movies in the database match the titles of the three requests sent with this scenario.

8. Click the play button to the left of your scenario in the left panel to run the scenario.
