# API Test Suite Builder
**Tier:** POWERFUL
**Category:** Engineering
**Domain:** Testing / API Quality
---
## Overview
Scans API route definitions across frameworks (Next.js App Router, Express, FastAPI, Django REST) and
auto-generates comprehensive test suites covering auth, input validation, error codes, pagination, file
uploads, and rate limiting. Outputs ready-to-run test files for Vitest+Supertest (Node) or Pytest+httpx
(Python).
---
## Core Capabilities
- **Route detection** — scan source files to extract all API endpoints
- **Auth coverage** — valid/invalid/expired tokens, missing auth header
- **Input validation** — missing fields, wrong types, boundary values, injection attempts
- **Error code matrix** — 400/401/403/404/422/500 for each route
- **Pagination** — first/last/empty/oversized pages
- **File uploads** — valid, oversized, wrong MIME type, empty
- **Rate limiting** — burst detection, per-user vs global limits
---
## When to Use
- New API added — generate test scaffold before writing implementation (TDD)
- Legacy API with no tests — scan and generate baseline coverage
- API contract review — verify existing tests match current route definitions
- Pre-release regression check — ensure all routes have at least smoke tests
- Security audit prep — generate adversarial input tests
---
## Route Detection
### Next.js App Router
```bash
# Find all route handlers
find ./app/api -name "route.ts" -o -name "route.js" | sort
# Extract HTTP methods from each
