How to use SeeR? A Step-by-Step Guide! 🚀🗺️

Let's get you navigating SeeR like a pro! Follow these easy steps to harness its full power.

Pre-requisites You'll Need 📋

Before you embark on your SeeR adventure, ensure you have:

• An OpenAPI 3.0 Specification File: This can be either a .json or .yml file. 📄

• A Valid servers Section in Your OpenAPI File: Your OpenAPI file must include a servers array with at least one url defined. This URL is super important for SeeR to connect to your API! For example:

  servers:
    - url: https://api.yourcompany.com/v1
      description: Production server
    - url: http://localhost:8080/api
      description: Local development server

  ⚠️ Without a valid server URL, SeeR can't connect to your API!

Q/A – Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What happens if my OpenAPI file has upload issues (e.g., missing servers URL)? A: SeeR validates your file immediately. If any required components (like servers) are missing, SeeR provides specific error messages to guide corrections.

Q: What OpenAPI version does SeeR support? A: SeeR supports OpenAPI 3.0 specifications, enabling compatibility with modern API standards.

Q: Can I change API configuration after automated testing, and are results saved? A: API configuration cannot be modified post-test execution. However, all test results are saved automatically under the unique Agent name in sidebar chat.

Q: How does SeeR handle API authentication methods like API keys or OAuth? A: Use the Headers tab to configure API keys or bearer tokens. For OAuth and similar workflows, SeeR's Pre-requisite Chaining enables token retrieval and automatic injection into requests.

Q: Can SeeR manage large and complex API specifications? A: Yes. SeeR is optimized to handle large API specifications. Initial processing may take slightly longer, but full functionality is supported.

Q: How can I quickly understand a failed test? A: SeeR's reports provide detailed request and response logs, assertion errors, and an AI-generated status reason to help identify the root cause.

Q: What are Assertions in SeeR? A: Assertions are validation checks performed on API responses to verify expected behavior.

Q: Why use Pre-requisite APIs? A: They allow API call chaining. For instance, you can retrieve a login token in one call and reuse it in subsequent calls without manual input.

Q: Does SeeR store actual API data? A: SeeR only processes your API data during testing. Data is handled securely and not stored beyond its testing purpose.

Q: What does "Sync: true" mean in a test report? A: It indicates that the SeeR agent is connected to GitHub, and test results are synchronized with related code changes.
