Service Suite API Testing Interface

Recommended guidance

DependingUse the Service Suite API testing interface to build, run, and validate HTTP API checks in AIQ. The interface should help users configure requests, inspect responses, assert outcomes, and reuse extracted data.

What to review

• Request method, URL, headers, parameters, body, and authentication.
• Environment variables, DPL values, and reusable configuration.
• Response status, headers, body, timing, and extracted values.
• Assertions for technical validity and business expectations.
• Output Logs and evidence needed for troubleshooting.

Best practices

1. Start with a single known-good request before chaining calls.
2. Separate authentication/setup calls from business validation where useful.
3. Mask tokens and secrets in shared logs or screenshots.
4. Document dependencies on whichexternal versionAPIs, ofrate AIQlimits, you are using, there are different paths to access the API Testing interface:

The Building Blocks pane is on the right side of the screen. This contains the elements you can use to construct API tests.

See API Testing Building Blocks for more information. If you are familiar with these building blocks, see API Testing Examples for examples of how to use them in AIQ's API Test Designer.
