What the data for this category looks like
This category's data originates from requirement specifications, test environments, customer business examples, and defect systems. Daily produced documents include UAT test cases, acceptance issue tickets, acceptance reports, and sign-off confirmation forms. UAT test cases contain fields such as test scenarios, API addresses, request parameters, and expected responses; most field units are characters, numbers, and seconds. Acceptance issue tickets record abnormal scenarios and reproduction steps, with an update frequency of per phase or per version, synchronized with project version iterations.
What constraints these characteristics impose on the "HTTP Interfaces and External Systems" link
The data characteristics of this category determine that HTTP interface configuration must align with actual customer business practices. First, data comes from customer business examples, so fields in interface request bodies and response bodies must strictly match the format agreed upon by the customer, and general templates cannot be used as a substitute. Second, the update frequency is per phase or per version, so interface configuration must support quick adjustments to adapt to version iterations. Finally, acceptance-related documents clarify abnormal judgment rules, so the interface's failure handling logic must align with the reproduction steps in the acceptance issue tickets, to avoid acceptance delays or scope disputes caused by configuration deviations.
How to set configurations
| Configuration Item | Recommended Approach | Basis for This Approach |
|---|---|---|
Authorization | Use the test environment API key provided by the customer, formatted as Bearer {key content} | Matches the authentication parameter format of FastGPT v4.17.0 and the requirements of customer business examples |
variables | Configure as business parameters defined in UAT test cases, with a value range of 10–50 parameter items | Covers core business fields in customer business examples |
responseData | Configure as expected response fields agreed upon in UAT test cases, including the code, message, data three-level structure | Matches the expected result standards in acceptance reports |
| Request timeout period | 60–120 seconds | Adapts to interface response delay fluctuations in the test environment |
| Response status code verification rules | Only verify the status code range specified by the customer | Aligns with the abnormal judgment rules in acceptance issue tickets |
Three common misconfigurations
- Scenario: The interface request returns
401 Unauthorizedwith an authentication failure prompt. Cause: TheAuthorizationparameter is not configured correctly, and the authentication format supported by FastGPT v4.17.0 and the customer-provided key content are not used. - Scenario: The interface response fields do not match the expectations in the UAT test cases, and some required fields are empty. Cause: The
responseDataconfiguration does not cover the response fields agreed upon in the customer business examples, resulting in missing verification logic. - Scenario: After modifying the interface address of the BI chart plugin, the request still points to the originally configured address. Cause: The interface base address parameter configured in
variablesis not updated synchronously, resulting in unsynchronized changes to request parameters.
How to confirm the configuration is complete
- Execute the standard request in the UAT test cases, and check that the fields returned in
responseDatamatch the expected results in the test cases. - View the interface logs to confirm that the format of the
Authorizationparameter matches the authentication rules provided by the customer. - Trigger an abnormal request scenario to confirm that the request timeout period configuration takes effect, and no unprompted request interruptions occur.
- Compare the abnormal judgment conditions in the acceptance issue tickets to confirm that the error codes in the interface response align with the rules.
