Loopback 3 API Testing with 'realm' users

This package is a simplified replacement for loopback-testing, which is now considered deprecated. It generates Mocha tests for Loopback API routes and examines their response codes. Optimized for Loopback 3 with realm

The main difference between this package and loopback-testing is that loopback-api-testing does not require you to write any code. Tests are specified in json format and the tests are generated automatically.

This package is not supported by, endorsed by, or associated with Strongloop or the core Loopback team.

    "path": "Model",
    "email": "my@user.com",
    "password": "myPassword",
    "realm":"REALM1"
    "expect": 200
  }
]

Making Requests with Data

You can send json data with a request.

[
  {
    "method": "POST",
    "model": "Cars",
    "withData": {
