Creating Tests (UI)
The platform offers three ways to create API test scenarios through the UI: the Swagger Wizard, Postman Import, and the YAML Editor.
Creating API Scenarios
An API scenario is a sequence of HTTP requests with assertions, variable extraction, and authentication. Think of it as a test case for your API.
Authentication
Proofarc supports 5 authentication types for API testing. Auth is configured once per scenario and applied automatically to every step.
Assertions & Extractions
Response Assertions
Data-Driven Testing
Run the same API scenario with different input data. Proofarc supports data sets that feed variables into your test steps.
Test Suites
Group multiple API test scenarios into a suite for batch execution. Suites run scenarios sequentially or in parallel and report results at the suite level.
YAML Format
API test scenarios can be written in YAML for a more readable, portable format. The YAML editor in the UI provides autocomplete for all keywords.
