Run API tests
When to use
Use this skill when the user:
- Says "run the tests", "run API tests", "run test suite", or "verify tests"
- Wants to run tests after generating or editing test code
- Asks to run only smoke or a specific group of tests
Workflow
-
Default: run all tests.
From the ai-rest-assured-framework project root:
mvn test
-
Run by TestNG group.
If the project uses groups (e.g. smoke, regression):
mvn test -Dgroups=smoke
Or multiple: -Dgroups="smoke,regression".
-
Run with a specific testng.xml suite.
If a suite file exists (e.g. src/test/resources/testng.xml or a custom one):
mvn test -DsuiteXmlFile=src/test/resources/testng.xml
-
Run a single test class.
mvn test -Dtest=MyApiTest
-
Report results.
Surefire writes reports to target/surefire-reports/. Tell the user the outcome (passed/failed) and, if failed, point to the report or the failing test name and assertion.
Notes
- Ensure
api.base.url or required env vars are set if tests depend on them; otherwise tests may fail or be skipped.
- For CI, use the same command (e.g.
mvn test) so the build is reproducible.
