📋 Test Coverage Details

✅ Successful Tests:

Products API - GET request validation
Products API - POST method error handling
Brands API - GET request validation
Brands API - Expected brands verification
Brands API - POST method error handling
Performance testing for both APIs
Data consistency between APIs
Error handling for invalid endpoints

🏗️ Page Object Model Implementation

API Page Object (`AutomationExerciseAPI.js`)

import AutomationExerciseAPI from '../../support/pages/AutomationExerciseAPI.js';

const apiPage = new AutomationExerciseAPI();

// Get all products
apiPage.getAllProducts().then((response) => {
  // Test logic here
});

// Get all brands
apiPage.getAllBrands().then((response) => {
  // Test logic here
});

Utility Functions (`APIUtils.js`)

import APIUtils from '../../support/utils/APIUtils.js';

// Validate status code
APIUtils.validateStatusCode(response, 200);

// Validate response structure
APIUtils.validateProductsListStructure(response);

// Log response details
APIUtils.logResponseDetails(response, 'Test Name');

Custom Commands

// Enhanced API request with logging
cy.apiRequest('GET', 'https://automationexercise.com/api/productsList');

// Validate API response
cy.validateApiResponse(response, 200);

// Automation Exercise specific API calls
cy.automationExerciseApi('/productsList');

🎯 Test Coverage
