3. Brands API - GET request validation
4. Brands API - Expected brands verification
5. Brands API - POST method error handling
6. Performance testing for both APIs
7. Data consistency between APIs
8. Error handling for invalid endpoints

🏗️ Page Object Model Implementation

API Page Object (AutomationExerciseAPI.js)

import AutomationExerciseAPI from '../../support/pages/AutomationExerciseAPI.js';

const apiPage = new AutomationExerciseAPI();

// Get all products
apiPage.getAllProducts().then((response) => {
  // Test logic here
});

// Get all brands
apiPage.getAllBrands().then((response) => {
  // Test logic here
});

Utility Functions (APIUtils.js)

import APIUtils from '../../support/utils/APIUtils.js';

// Validate status code
APIUtils.validateStatusCode(response, 200);

// Validate response structure
APIUtils.validateProductsListStructure(response);

// Log response details
APIUtils.logResponseDetails(response, 'Test Name');

Custom Commands

// Enhanced API request with logging
cy.apiRequest('GET', 'https://automationexercise.com/api/productsList');

// Validate API response
cy.validateApiResponse(response, 200);

// Automation Exercise specific API calls
cy.automationExerciseApi('/productsList');
