Backend API Testing and Documentation

[limitlxx]

Overview

We need comprehensive testing of all backend endpoints and detailed documentation of the API endpoints in our documentation.

Tasks

API Testing

• Set up testing environment with appropriate test database
• Write unit tests for all API endpoints covering:
  • Success cases
  • Error cases
  • Edge cases
  • Input validation
  • Authentication/Authorization checks
• Implement integration tests for critical API flows
• Set up CI pipeline for automated testing

API Documentation

• Document all endpoints including:
  • HTTP method
  • URL path
  • Request parameters
  • Request body schema
  • Response format
  • Authentication requirements
  • Example requests and responses
  • Error codes and messages
• Add implementation notes and usage guidelines
• Include rate limiting information
• Document versioning strategy

Acceptance Criteria

1. All endpoints must have corresponding test coverage
2. Tests must achieve minimum 80% code coverage
3. Documentation must be clear and include working examples
4. All error scenarios must be documented
5. Authentication flows must be clearly explained

Additional Notes

• Consider using Swagger/OpenAPI for API documentation
• Include Postman collection for manual testing
• Document any environment-specific configurations
