API Workflow Testing – Product Lifecycle

Implemented a full CRUD workflow using a public API, validating object lifecycle from creation to deletion and confirming state changes across requests. Validates how multiple API calls work together in a real user journey.

Step To Reproduce:

  1. Get All Products
  2. Create a Product
  3. Get Product created
  4. Update Product: Title and Price
  5. Delete Product
  6. Validate deletion

Workflow Execution in Postman:

API testing workflow showing GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE operations

What It shows:

  • Full API workflow (CRUD operations)
  • Data consistency across requests
  • State changes validation (create → update → delete)
  • System behaviour after resource deletion
  • End-to-end product lifecycle testing

Instead of testing a single endpoint, we test a sequence of dependent actions.

“A single API call may pass. A workflow reveals the real behaviour”
