Setup and configuration

Test plan preparation

To prepare a test plan by using the following format (for example, let's name the file 'plan.json').

{
  "goal": "Have a try on s2test",
  "endpoints": "./api.json",
  "ua": "tester",
  "auths": {
    "cookieA": {
      "type": "Cookie",
      "name": "cookieName",
      "value": "cookieValue"
    },
    "tokenA": {
      "type": "OAuth 2.0",
      "prefix": "Bearer",
      "value": "tokenValue"
    }
  },
  "tasks": [
    {
      "targetAPI": "GET a sample post",
      "auth": ["tokenA"]
    },
    {
      "targetAPI": "POST a sample post",
      "auth": ["tokenA"],
      "variables": {
        "sample_use_id": "1",
        "sample_post_title": "sample post title"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Also, to write down the information of test target API by using the following format.

{
  "GET a sample post": {
    "description": "GET a sample post",
    "url": "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1",
    "method": "GET",
    "headers": {
      "Content-type": "application/json; charset=utf-8"
    }
  },
  "POST a sample post": {
    "description": "POST a sample post",
    "url": "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts",
    "method": "POST",
    "headers": {
      "Content-type": "application/json; charset=utf-8"
    },
    "body": {
      "title": "#{sample_post_title}",
      "body": "sample post body",
      "userId": "#{sample_use_id}"
    }
  }
}

Test Plan Execution

Run with both plan path and api path

./s2test -p plan.json -a api.json

Run with only plan path (api path will be set with the value of endpoints in test plan file)

./s2test -p plan.json
