Stage 2 of the HNGi13 QA Track: API Testing

Stage 2 focused on exploring backend quality through API testing using the Gradific platform as a case study.
I tested four core resources: Auth, Users, Workspace, and Workspace Members. Using Postman, I imported the Swagger documentation and organized the endpoints into structured folders for each resource.
I wrote and executed 80 comprehensive test cases, covering positive, negative, and edge scenarios. These validated login flows, workspace creation, user updates, and member role management... ensuring each endpoint behaved as expected.
Along the way, I learned how to handle authorization tokens, set up parameterization and environment variables, and manage protected endpoints effectively. These skills improved my workflow and deepened my understanding of backend logic.
💡 Key Takeaway
API testing isn’t just about sending requests, it’s about understanding how systems communicate. It builds precision, technical intuition, and confidence beyond UI testing.
