This guide shows how to test batch/bulk API endpoints that process multiple items at once. Perfect for testing batch create, update, and delete operations.

Use Cases

  • Test batch create operations
  • Test bulk update operations
  • Test batch delete operations
  • Validate batch size limits

Simple Implementation

Setup Instructions

  1. Replace API endpoints with your actual batch endpoints
  2. Adjust batch sizes based on your API limits
  3. Customize data structures for your specific entities
  4. Update field names to match your API schema

What This Tests

  • Batch Create: Creating multiple items in one request
  • Batch Update: Updating multiple items in one request
  • Batch Delete: Deleting multiple items in one request
  • Size Limits: Testing batch size limitations
  • Error Handling: Mixed valid/invalid items in batches

Batch Patterns

  • All-or-Nothing: Entire batch fails if any item fails
  • Partial Success: Some items succeed, others fail
  • Best Effort: Process all valid items, report errors

Common Batch Endpoints

  • POST /api/users/batch - Create multiple users
  • PUT /api/users/batch - Update multiple users
  • DELETE /api/users/batch - Delete multiple users
  • POST /api/items/bulk - Bulk operations

Best Practices

  • Keep batch sizes reasonable (10-100 items)
  • Handle partial failures gracefully
  • Provide clear error messages for failed items
  • Consider batch processing timeouts
