Test Application Overview | Bondar Academy

Lesson Summary

In this lesson, we will create a test application overview to be used throughout the course for testing the API. Follow these steps: Accessing the Test Application Open your browser and navigate to conduit.bonderacademy.com . We will focus on the API rather than the UI of the application. Inspecting API Calls Right-click and select Inspect in your browser. Navigate to the Networking tab and apply the Fetch/XHR filter to view only API calls. Refresh the page to see the API calls made by the application. Click on the tags endpoint to view details of the API call. Check the Response tab to see the response object, which should match the displayed tags. Understanding API Functionality The application makes API calls, receives data, and displays it in a user-friendly format. Throughout the course, we will use the UI to understand the functional flow and the sequence of API calls, but the tests will focus on API requests. Creating a Test Account To fully engage with the application, create your own test account: Click on the Sign Up button. Use a random username (e.g., pwapi-user ) and email (e.g., [email protected] ). Choose a random password (e.g., welcome ). After signing up, you will have additional functionalities, such as creating articles, editing them, and performing various operations that will trigger API calls. Next Steps Prepare your test user for later use in the course. We will simulate different test scenarios by calling the API directly. See you in the next lesson!
