Why Service Suite?
Why Service Suite?
Service Suite is used to design, run, and validate API and service-level tests in AIQ. It helps teams test business workflows below the UI, validate integrations, and reuse service calls across broader test coverage.
When Service Suite is a good fit
- Testing HTTP APIs, service integrations, and backend workflows.
- Validating data contracts, status codes, response payloads, and downstream values.
- Creating reusable service steps that support Scenario Editor or end-to-end tests.
- Running checks that should be faster or more stable than browser-only validation.
- Preparing setup, teardown, or data-creation steps for larger test suites.
Recommended practice
Use Service Suite with clear request definitions, secure authentication handling, assertions, response extraction, and environment-specific variables. Keep service tests small enough to debug quickly, then combine them into broader workflows where needed.
