API Testing Pytest Demo

Small API testing project built around a fictional case management service.

The point of this repo is to show a practical API QA setup: status code checks, JSON response validation, negative tests, duplicate handling, date validation, and a basic report endpoint.

What is included

• FastAPI demo service
• Pytest API tests
• Test fixtures and data reset between tests
• Positive and negative test cases
• GitHub Actions test workflow

Main API areas

• Health check
• Client creation and search
• Appointment booking
• Double-booking validation
• Report summary validation

Run locally

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
pytest

To run the demo API manually:

uvicorn app.main:app --reload

Then open:

Notes

This is not a production backend. It is a compact test target for API testing practice and portfolio review.
