Selenium API Development & Integration 4

Question 1

In a hybrid test framework combining Selenium and API tests, what pattern uses API calls to create preconditions and Selenium to verify the UI outcome?

Accepted Answer

API-First UI Testing

Answer

API-First UI Testing uses API calls to set up state quickly and then uses Selenium to verify that the UI correctly reflects that state.

Question 2

Which HTTP header must be set in an API request to specify that the client expects a JSON response?

Accepted Answer

Accept: application/json

Answer

The 'Accept: application/json' header tells the server that the client expects a JSON-formatted response.

Question 3

When integrating Selenium tests with a CI/CD pipeline, what is the recommended approach for managing API base URLs across different environments?

Accepted Answer

Use environment variables or configuration files per environment

Answer

Using environment variables or environment-specific configuration files allows the same test code to run against different environments without modification.

Question 4

What does an HTTP 401 Unauthorized response from an API indicate during Selenium test execution?

Accepted Answer

The client lacks valid authentication credentials

Answer

HTTP 401 means the request requires valid authentication and the provided credentials are missing or invalid.

Question 5

In Selenium API integration, what is the purpose of an 'API gateway' in the test architecture?

Accepted Answer

A server that acts as an entry point managing routing, authentication, and rate limiting for APIs
