[Test Scenario] Follow this to Test Pagination of Back-end like a Pro 🏆

Let’s assume the back-end is implemented with REST.

Test Pagination of BE like a PRO

Request — GET /product/search?page=1&size=10

Response

{
  "metadata": {
    "page": 1,
    "perPage": 10,
    "pageCount": 2,
    "totalCount": 14
  },
  "results": [
    {
      "product": "Pen",
      "quantity": "10",
      "unitprice": "2""currency": "USD",
      "modifiedDate": "2022–06–21T11:45:22.921238"
    } ,
    …
  ]
}

If you observe the response payload carefully, metadata section controls the pagination in the back end. Similar to the front-end user interface in the below article, you can change the page, size or number of records per page from the request passed as query params.

[Test Scenario] Test Pagination like a Pro.

Let’s derive the possible test scenarios.

1. Check the functionality with the default values of page and size

Make the request with size 10 and page is 1

Expected
pageCount should be 1
totalCount should remain the same
perPage should be 10…
