Background
Recently, we noticed our QA team was spending significant time on manual regression testing. After discussions, we concluded that implementing automated API integration tests could substantially reduce the manual regression workload.
As a solution, I developed a standardized approach using Cursor to generate integration tests from API documentation. The project has been quite successful so far.
Project Repository: github_api_tests
Key Features
Core Technologies
- BDD (Behavior Driven Development) approach using Cucumber.js and TypeScript
- Automated test generation from API documentation
Command System
Our standardized command system for test management includes:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/test |
Run all or tagged tests |
/add_feat |
Generate feature files from API docs |
/steps |
Generate step definitions |
/add_scene |
Add new test scenarios |
