What this category of data includes
Data for this category originates from API management platforms, test environment logs, databases, and message queues. Data is updated daily or per version release cycle. Daily generated documents include API test cases, joint debugging issue tickets, environment descriptions, and test reports. API test cases contain fields such as API addresses, request parameters, expected responses, and test preconditions. Joint debugging issue tickets record trigger scenarios and troubleshooting processes for link anomalies. Data fields must align with cross-module interaction verification requirements. This page is compatible with FastGPT v4.17.0.
Constraints for forms and interactions
Cross-module interaction verification requirements require that parameters collected by forms match existing parameter formats from API management platforms and abnormal fields from test environment logs. Parameter linkage logic is handled by external systems or downstream nodes. The daily or per-version update nature of data requires rapid reuse of historical test cases via external systems. Version tracing is managed by external document management systems. The need to associate multiple document types requires configuring external document jump entrances via external systems, with entrance directions provided by external business systems. Fields must strictly match the standard structure of API test cases to prevent test data from being unusable due to field incompatibility.
How to configure settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Approach | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
Form input node formInput | Test example: Select 3 fields from integration testing and API testing as required inputs; actual fields are determined per task | This node collects user input. Missing required inputs require verification of interaction status to prevent downstream nodes from receiving incomplete input |
User selection node userSelect | Test example: Set 2 business options, check corresponding branches one by one | This node handles user selections. Querying and filtering records related to integration testing and API testing must be implemented via downstream APIs or external systems |
| Field passing after submission | Test example: Prepare 10 input samples for integration testing and API testing, covering full completion, missing required items, and canceled operations | Compare inputs and node outputs to verify if downstream nodes receive corresponding fields. Result thresholds are determined per actual tasks |
| External implementation item: Bulk import template | Must be implemented separately via external systems; use standard formats exported from API management platforms, import operations are handled by external systems or downstream nodes | Align with existing data formats to reduce time spent on parameter verification |
| External implementation item: Failure retry threshold | Must be implemented separately via external systems; 3 retries, 10-second interval (test example) | Match common timeout scenarios for API calls, reduce test failures caused by temporary network fluctuations |
| External implementation item: JSON format input item configuration | Must be implemented separately via external systems; support configuration of JSON format input items, variable calls are handled by external workflow branches or downstream nodes | Meet variable call requirements for JSON format input items, simplify complex parameter configuration |
Three common configuration errors
- Phenomenon: After submitting an API test case, the admission ticket field is not fully filled but still passes validation, triggering subsequent test exceptions. Cause: Required field validation rules are not configured in external verification logic, and core parameters such as admission tickets are not covered.
- After submitting a form related to integration testing and API testing, downstream nodes do not receive complete fields. Compare required items, actual submitted content, and node output mappings one by one, then check downstream API responses. Existing symptoms alone cannot determine the root cause.
- Phenomenon: After submitting a joint debugging issue ticket, it is not synchronized to test logs, and abnormal trigger scenarios cannot be directly traced via the form. Cause: External system linkage rules are not configured, and external document jump entrances are not added.
How to verify successful configuration
- Submit a test case with incomplete parameters, confirm that the external verification logic pops up a prompt for missing required fields.
- Call externally defined variables in the JSON input box, confirm that variables can be inserted normally and generate valid JSON format.
- Import the test case template exported from the API management platform via the external system, confirm that fields match the form structure without manual adjustment required.
- After submitting the test case, confirm that the external system automatically generates a jump link for the corresponding test log.
