ATX Automation Agent (A3)

A3 is a multi-agent AI system that automates backend API testing using advanced AI/GenAI models. It generates executable integration test cases by analyzing API specifications and test scenarios, ensuring complete API coverage with no code/data/IP leak.

Hosted securely on customer on-premise/cloud environments, A3 accelerates QA with intelligent test case generation and reporting.

🚀 Features

1. ✅ Executable test code generated for backend APIs in designated output folders
2. 📄 Reads directly from:
   • Postman Collections
   • Swagger/OpenAPI specs
   • Other well-structured API documentation
3. 🤖 AI-driven test case generation from plain English integration/system test scenarios
4. 🧠 Automatically discovers API dependencies to create effective integration test plans
5. 📑 Enhanced test coverage with:
   • Product requirement documents
   • Custom test case scenarios
6. 📊 Allure Reports for visualizing test execution
7. 📁 A3 Management Console to manage and track multiple projects with ease
8. 🧪 Covers diverse test categories:
   • Successful flow
   • Failure tests (invalid tokens, bad payloads)
   • Synthetic data variations for edge cases
   • Custom data from client sources

📁 Creating a New Project in A3

To create a new project using the A3 Management Console, you are required to upload the following three configuration files:

1️⃣ Base API Config JSON

This file holds server-level details necessary for test execution via Pytest.

Sample Format: { "baseUrl": "https://your-api-host.com", "authToken": "Bearer YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN" }

• baseUrl: Root URL where the API is hosted.
• authToken: Authorization token used for accessing secure endpoints.

2️⃣ Independent API Config JSON

Specifies APIs that can be tested independently along with custom validation rules.

Sample Format: { "collection_type": "postman", "independent_apis": [ "/api/v1/e1", "/api/v1/e2", "/api/v1/e3" ], "validation_rules": { "required_headers": ["Authorization", "Content-Type"], "required_parameters": ["id", "version"], "response_codes": [200, 201, 204, 400, 404, 500], "api_keys": { "header_name": "X-API-Key", "token_name": "Bearer", "required": true } } }

• independent_apis: List of API endpoints to be tested in isolation.
• validation_rules: Expected headers, parameters, and valid response codes.

3️⃣ API Documentation File

This can be one of the following:

• Postman Collection JSON
• Swagger/OpenAPI Specification JSON

The file should fully describe all endpoints, request/response formats, and parameters. This serves as the foundation for test case generation.

📦 Requirements

• Visual Studio Code (v1.70+)
• Node.js (for test execution)
• Allure CLI (for reporting): https://docs.qameta.io/allure/#_installing_a_commandline
• Pytest
