GoRest REST API Testing Project

A professional Manual REST API Testing Portfolio Project built using Postman and Newman to validate the functionality of the GoRest Public API.

This project demonstrates practical QA documentation, organized API testing and real-world testing scenarios suitable for a Junior SQA Engineer Portfolio.

The project focuses on validating REST API functionality through manual testing.

The testing includes:

• Authentication
• CRUD Operations
• User APIs
• Negative Testing
• Response Validation
• Environment Variable Chaining
• Newman HTML Reporting

• Bearer Token Authentication
• Token Validation
• Unauthorized Access Testing

• Create User
• Get Single User
• Get All Users
• Update User (PATCH)
• Verify PATCH Update
• Replace User (PUT)
• Verify PUT Update
• Delete User
• Verify Deleted User

• Invalid Token
• Invalid User ID
• Create Without Email
• Duplicate Email
• Invalid Gender
• Empty Name
• Missing Status
• Wrong Endpoint
• Wrong Method

Contains all API requests and test scripts.

Contains reusable variables including:

• base_url
• token
• userid_env
• name_env
• email_env

52 professionally documented test cases covering positive and negative scenarios.

12 Jira-style bug reports with severity, priority and detailed reproduction steps.

IEEE-style professional test plan.

HTML execution report generated using Newman.

1. Import the Postman Collection.
2. Import the Environment.
3. Configure the Bearer Token.
4. Execute the Create User request.
5. Store environment variables automatically.
6. Execute all CRUD requests.
7. Verify PATCH and PUT updates.
8. Execute Negative Testing scenarios.
9. Validate responses and status codes.
10. Generate the Newman HTML Report.
11. Prepare QA documentation.

Run the collection using Newman.

newman run "Postman/GoRest API Test.postman_collection.json" \
-e "Postman/GoRest API Test.postman_environment.json" \
-r htmlextra \
--reporter-htmlextra-export "Newman_Report/GoRest-API-Test-Report.html"
