Testing Capabilities

Vaktum Testing Capabilities

Vaktum provides a comprehensive set of testing capabilities to validate all aspects of your API functionality.

HTTP Request Testing

The most common type of API testing, HTTP request testing allows you to:

Test any HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, etc.)
Validate status codes, headers, and response bodies
Test with various content types (JSON, XML, form data, etc.)
Simulate different user agents and client behaviors

Example of an HTTP test configuration:

{
  "name": "Get User Profile",
  "request": {
    "method": "GET",
    "url": "{{baseUrl}}/users/{{userId}}",
    "headers": {
      "Authorization": "Bearer {{token}}"
    }
  },
  "expectedResponse": {
    "statusCode": 200,
    "contentType": "application/json",
    "schema": {
      "type": "object",
      "required": ["id", "name", "email"],
      "properties": {
        "id": { "type": "string" },
        "name": { "type": "string" },
        "email": { "type": "string" }
      }
    }
  }
}

Webhook Testing

Vaktum can test webhook integrations by:

Creating temporary webhook endpoints to receive callbacks
Validating webhook payloads against expected schemas
Setting timeouts for webhook receipt
Capturing and storing webhook events for analysis

Example webhook test:

{
  "name": "Payment Webhook Test",
  "webhookConfig": {
    "waitTime": 30000,
    "expectedEvent": "payment.completed",
    "triggerRequest": {
      "method": "POST",
      "url": "{{baseUrl}}/payments",
      "body": {
        "amount": 100,
        "currency": "USD"
      }
    }
  }
}

gRPC Testing

For gRPC APIs, Vaktum supports:

Testing unary, server streaming, client streaming, and bidirectional streaming methods
Protobuf message validation
Testing with metadata (headers)
TLS/SSL security testing
