Response Validations
Adding Tests
 Status Code
 Headers
 Cookies
 Response Time
 Response Body
Body:
{
"id": 1,
"name": "John",
"location": "India",
"phone": "1234567890",
"courses": [
"Java",
"Selenium"
]
}
Tests:
//Testing Status Codes
pm.test("Status code is 200", () =>
{pm.response.to.have.status(200)});

pm.test("Successful GET request", ()=>


{pm.expect(pm.response.code).to.be.oneOf([200,202]);});

pm.test("Status code name has string 'OK'", ()=>


{pm.response.to.have.status("OK");});

//Testing Headers
pm.test("'Content-Type' header is present", ()=>
{pm.response.to.have.header("Content-Type");});

pm.test("'Content-Type' header is application/json", ()=>


{pm.expect(pm.response.headers.get('Content-Type')).to.eql('application/
json; charset=utf-8');});

//Testing Cookies
pm.test("Cookie 'language' is present", ()=>
{pm.expect(pm.cookies.has('language')).to.be.true;});

pm.test("Cookie 'language' has value 1", ()=>


{pm.expect(pm.cookies.get('language')).to.eql('en-gb');});

//Testing Response Times


pm.test("Response time is less than 50ms", ()=>
{pm.expect(pm.response.responseTime).to.be.below(50);});

//Response Body Validations


//Asserting value types(Test Datatypes of Values)
const jsonData = pm.response.json();
pm.test("Test Datatypes of the response", ()=>
{pm.expect(jsonData).to.be.an("object");
pm.expect(jsonData.id).to.be.a("number");
pm.expect(jsonData.name).to.be.a("string");
pm.expect(jsonData.courses).to.be.an("array");});

//Asserting Array Properties


pm.test("Test array Properties/Elements", ()=>
{//Courses array includes Java
pm.expect(jsonData.courses).to.include("Java");
//Courses array must includes all listed
pm.expect(jsonData.courses).to.have.members(["Java","Selenium"]);});

//Validating JSON response fields


pm.test("Values of Fields are correct", ()=>
{pm.expect(jsonData.id).to.eql(1);
pm.expect(jsonData.name).to.eql("John");
pm.expect(jsonData.location).to.eql("India");
pm.expect(jsonData.phone).to.eql("1234567890");
pm.expect(jsonData.courses[0]).to.eql("Java");
pm.expect(jsonData.courses[1]).to.eql("Selenium");});

//Validating JSON Schema


//Convert JSON data into JSON Schema then, create variable 'Schema'
var Schema={
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
