Generate API Test Cases from a Contract

Converts API documentation into a coverage matrix and runnable tests for successful, invalid, and edge-case requests.

Ready to use

Prompt

Generate test cases for the supplied API contract.

API contract or documentation:
{{api_contract}}

Testing framework:
{{testing_framework}}

Language:
{{programming_language}}

Existing project conventions:
{{existing_conventions}}

Highest-risk functionality:
{{risk_area}}

Do not invent endpoints, fields, status codes, or authentication behavior that are absent from the contract.

First create a coverage matrix containing:

- Endpoint
- Scenario
- Expected status
- Expected response behavior
- Test priority
- Contract section used as evidence

Then generate runnable tests covering:

- Successful requests
- Required-field validation
- Boundary values
- Invalid types and formats
- Authentication and authorization
- Idempotency, when applicable
- Rate-limit behavior, when documented
- Unexpected or malformed responses

List any behavior that cannot be tested because the contract is ambiguous. Keep fixtures small and follow the supplied project conventions.

What to expect

Example output

A contract-referenced coverage matrix followed by runnable TypeScript tests for successful requests, validation, boundaries, authentication, idempotency, and documented failure behavior.

Example context

Example input

Contract: Attached Orders API OpenAPI file. Framework: Jest with Supertest. Language: TypeScript. Conventions: Existing factories, no external calls. Risk area: Payment retries.
