Your question is API Testing Approach. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
Describe your approach to API testing.
Explain how you would derive coverage from an OpenAPI contract, select functional and negative cases, validate HTTP responses and JSON payloads, manage test data, and decide what belongs in smoke, regression, and integration suites. Include how you would handle authentication, chained requests, idempotency, and test execution in CI.
The interviewer is checking whether you can build a risk-based API test strategy rather than only verify status codes. Keep the answer focused on REST APIs and automated testing practices.
