Create an API Test

The Create API Test window lets you build a test manually or with request/response pairs from an existing API test or from the file system.

Follow these steps:

1. Select a project from the Project drop-down list, or enter a project name. If the project exists, this API test is added to it. If it does not exist, it is created.
2. Enter the name of your test in the Test Name field. After the test runs, the application appends a datestamp and timestamp to the name you enter to ensure that it is unique.
3. Enter the base portion of the URL for the request/response pairs in the Base URL field. The Base URL is the URL to which a request connects when it is executed. For example, enter:

   http://localhost:8080
   

4. Enter a short description of the test in the Description field.
