Welcome! 👋
This project is a revisited and improved version of my first NUnit API tests tutorial. Here, we automate API tests in C# using NUnit, RestSharp, and Allure Reports. The goal is to create robust, reusable, and maintainable tests that can run locally or in CI/CD pipelines.

You can read the full article here: Dev.to Tutorial 📖

• ✅ Automated API tests using NUnit and C#
• ✅ REST API requests handled via RestSharp
• ✅ Configurable environment variables via .runsettings
• ✅ Sensitive data protection for API keys & user data
• ✅ Allure report integration for test results
• ✅ Clean, reusable, and maintainable code structure
• ✅ Example API: DummyJSON

Also includes an example for NASA API testing using .runsettings for secure API keys.

• .NET 8 SDK
• Visual Studio or Rider
• Allure

git clone https://github.com/m4rri4nne/ApiTestsWithNUnit.git
cd ApiTestsWithNUnit

dotnet restore

• Create a .runsettings file (already included as an example)
• Add your API keys and variables
• Do NOT commit sensitive info ⚠️

Example .runsettings:

    <RunSettings>
    <TestRunParameters>
    <Parameter name="BaseUrl" value="https://dummyjson.com" />
    <Parameter name="UserName" value="John" />
    <Parameter name="LastName" value="Doe" />
    <Parameter name="Email" value="john.do@example.com" />
    <Parameter name="ApiToken" value="YOUR_API_KEY" />
    </TestRunParameters>
    </RunSettings>

dotnet test --settings .runsettings

Tests will execute and results will be displayed in the console.

After running the tests:

allure serve ./bin/Debug/net8.0/allure-results

This will open a beautiful interactive report in your browser. 🎉

• Use Setup() in tests to avoid duplication
• Abstract API requests to make tests maintainable
• Keep sensitive data out of version control
• Allure reports give a quick visual overview of test results
• Tests are reusable and can be extended for other endpoints
