JsonPlaceholder API Test Framework

A small API testing project built with python, PyTest and JSON Schema for practising CRUD, contract and negative testing against JSONPlaceholder.

Features

• API Client: Wrapped requests implementation in conftest.py to abstract the base URLs and make the codebase cleaner while calling routes.
• Contract Testing: Uses JSON Schema (Draft-07) to ensure responses from the API match the expected data types and structure, catching "silent" backend type coercion bugs.
• Advanced PyTest Logic:
  • Fixtures: Modular setup for clients and loading JSON schemas.
  • Parametrization: Used to test multiple invalid inputs in payloads while adhering to DRY principles.
  • XFAIL Tracking: Used to highlight "silent" backend bugs where the api should fail yet doesn't.
• Negative Testing Covers typical negative tests such as 404 Not Found and 400 Bad Request.
