API Design and Evaluation

Test Case ID: TC-API-001

Test Case Title: Design and Evaluate Backend API for


Authentication, Authorization, and Additional Functionalities

Objective:

To design a backend API for the system, evaluate its components related to
authentication and authorization, and test its functionalities, including
additional features such as a payment portal, report generation, and Google
Analytics integration.

Preconditions:

1. A design document outlining the API requirements and design


approach is created.
2. Development environment and frameworks are set up.
3. API specifications and documentation are available.
4. Test data is prepared.

Test Data:

 Valid and invalid credentials for authentication


 Test data for CRUD operations
 Payment information for payment portal tests
 Sample data for report generation
 Google Analytics tracking IDs

Test Steps:

5. Design Document Review


o Action: Review the API design document for completeness,
including components related to authentication, authorization,
and additional functionalities.
o Expected Result: The design document should clearly outline
the API specifications, including endpoints, request/response
formats, and security considerations.
6. Authentication and Authorization API Testing
o Action: Test the authentication API with valid and invalid
credentials.
o Expected Result:
 Valid credentials should return a successful authentication
response and an access token.
 Invalid credentials should return an appropriate error
message (e.g., "Invalid credentials").
o Action: Test the authorization API to ensure users have
appropriate access based on their roles and permissions.
o Expected Result: Users should only access resources and
actions they are authorized for, with appropriate error messages
for unauthorized access.
7. Payment Portal API Testing
o Action: Test the payment portal API with valid payment details.
o Expected Result: The payment should be processed
successfully, and a confirmation response should be returned.
o Action: Test the payment portal API with invalid payment
details.
o Expected Result: The payment should fail, and an appropriate
error message should be returned.
8. Report Generation API Testing
o Action: Test the report generation API with valid parameters to
generate reports.
o Expected Result: The report should be generated and returned
in the specified format (e.g., PDF, CSV).
o Action: Test the report generation API with invalid parameters.
o Expected Result: An appropriate error message should be
returned.
9. Google Analytics Integration Testing
o Action: Verify that the API sends tracking data to Google
Analytics.
o Expected Result: The tracking data should be correctly
recorded in Google Analytics.
10. Performance Evaluation
o Action: Measure the performance of the API endpoints (response
time, throughput) under different load conditions.
o Expected Result: API performance should meet the acceptable
criteria defined in the design document.
11. Security Testing
o Action: Conduct security tests, including vulnerability scans and
penetration testing, to identify potential security issues.
o Expected Result: The API should be secure, with no critical
vulnerabilities found.
12. White Box Testing
o Action: Review the API code for security issues, adherence to
coding standards, and proper implementation of logic.
o Expected Result: The code should be clean, follow best
practices, and be free of obvious security flaws.
13. Black Box Testing
o Action: Perform black box testing by testing the API endpoints
without knowing the internal code structure.
o Expected Result: The API should meet all functional
requirements as specified in the design document, with
appropriate handling of valid and invalid inputs.
14. Documentation and Reporting
o Action: Document the results of all tests, including any issues or
discrepancies found.
o Expected Result: Comprehensive test results and any identified
issues should be documented clearly, with recommendations for
fixes if needed.

Expected Outcome:

 The API design should be validated against the requirements.


 The authentication, authorization, and additional functionalities
(payment portal, report generation, Google Analytics) should work as
expected.
 Performance and security should meet the required standards.
 Comprehensive documentation of test results and issues should be
provided.

Postconditions:

 Issues identified during testing are reported to the development team.


 The API design and implementation are reviewed and revised based on
test results.
Attachments:

 API design document


 Test data
 Test results logs
 Security test reports
 Performance benchmarks

By following this test case, you can ensure that the API design and
implementation meet the required functionality, performance, and security
standards.
