Common API testing anti‑patterns you can fix this week: 1️⃣ Only checking status codes "All tests green" because everything returns 200, but nobody validates the payload shape or required fields. 2️⃣ Happy‑path‑only suites Login + one success flow per endpoint, zero error cases, zero edge inputs. Bugs show up only when real users mis‑use the API. 3️⃣ Brittle, hard‑coded data Tests depend on a specific user ID or token that quietly expires or gets deleted. Suddenly half the suite is "flaky." 4️⃣ Mocks everywhere Everything is mocked so tests never hit real dependencies. Integrations break in staging because nothing ever exercised the real wiring. 5️⃣ No feedback loop from prod Incidents get fixed, but tests don't get updated. The same class of bug quietly re‑appears three releases later. Your future self will thank you.

5. Smarter iteration with in-context AI: AI stays aware of your latest request, current script, and response, so refining tests is as simple as prompting: "Add pagination checks" or "Handle unauthorized scenarios."

Your API tool probably knows more about you than you think. Because the moment you logged in, your collections, environments, and endpoints were synced to their cloud. By default. Without you really choosing it. Requestly takes a different approach. Open it. Test what you need. You don't need to login and your data stays local unless you decide otherwise — and that's exactly the point. 🐻 #APIClient
