📌 Trello REST API Automation Project

🎓 Graduation Project Information

This project was developed as a Graduation Project for the
Udacity Nanodegree Program, delivered in collaboration with Sprints.ai,
and sponsored by MCIT (Ministry of Communications and Information Technology – Egypt).

The project focuses on API testing and automation using Postman, validating real-world REST APIs through structured test cases and automated collections.

---

📌 Project Overview

This project automates testing of Trello REST APIs using Postman to validate core project management functionalities such as board creation, deletion, list management, and list archiving.

The automation suite verifies API responses, status codes, headers, default values, and data integrity, and generates execution results showing PASS/FAIL status for each test case and scenario.

Additionally, Swagger was used for API exploration and manual validation before automation.

🧪 Automated Test Coverage

🔹 FakerestAPI (Swagger Practice)

• GET /api/v1/Authors
• POST /api/v1/Authors
• GET /api/v1/Authors/authors/books/{idBook}
• PUT /api/v1/Authors/{id}
• GET /api/v1/Authors/{id}

✔ Status code validation
✔ Response body validation
✔ Mandatory field checks
✔ Integration testing across endpoints

---

🔹 Trello REST APIs

The following Trello APIs were automated and validated:

Feature	API
Get user boards	GET /1/members/me
Create board	POST /1/boards
Get boards	GET /1/members/me?boards=open
Delete board	DELETE /1/boards/{id}
Create list	POST /1/lists
Get lists on board	GET /1/boards/{id}/lists
Archive / Unarchive list	PUT /1/lists/{id}/closed

---

🧪 Test Validations Implemented

• Status code validation (200, 201, 400)
• Response body key existence
• Default values validation (closed, permissions, limits)
• Header validation (Set-Cookie)
• Dynamic data handling using variables
• Collection-level execution
• Integration validation between APIs
• Looping over response arrays for data consistency

🔐 Authentication

Trello APIs are authenticated using:

• API Key
• API Token

Credentials are passed via Query Parameters as per Trello documentation.

---

🚀 Execution Steps

1. Import Postman collection
2. Import environment / global variables
3. Configure API key & token
4. Run requests individually or via Collection Runner
5. Export test execution results in JSON format

---

📄 Test Reporting

• Collection Runner execution
• PASS / FAIL status per request
• Script-level assertion results
• Execution time
• JSON report export
