Select, Navigate and Manage Endpoints

Overview

After selecting a feature, Shift Left Studio displays the endpoint list for that feature. Each endpoint row shows the HTTP method and endpoint path, and lets you open test-case, edit, or delete actions.

An endpoint is a specific API route and HTTP method (for example, GET /users/{id}). Endpoints are the unit used for test generation, execution, and reporting.

Open endpoint list from a feature

1. Open your project dashboard.
2. Select a feature from the feature list.
3. Review endpoint rows in the endpoint table.

Each row typically includes:

• endpoint name
• endpoint path
• HTTP method
• description and basic coverage/test indicators
• row-level actions

Select an endpoint

1. In the endpoint list, locate the endpoint you want to test.
2. Select the endpoint row or name.
3. The endpoint Test Case screen opens for that specific endpoint.

Tip: use method badges to quickly identify endpoint type:

• GET (commonly green)
• POST (commonly blue)
• PUT (commonly orange)
• DELETE (commonly red)

Create endpoint manually

1. Open a feature.
2. Select Add endpoint.
3. Provide:
   • Endpoint URL / path
   • HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE)
   • Description (optional)
4. Save.

Update endpoint

• Open the endpoint and use Edit to change URL, method, or description.
• Save changes. Updating the endpoint here keeps tests and runs aligned with the API.

Delete endpoint

• Use the Delete action on the endpoint when the route is deprecated or removed from the API.
• Confirm deletion. Associated tests can be impacted; verify before removal.

Validate connectivity and auth readiness

Configure auth in a way that matches the target environment:

• API key
• OAuth2/Bearer token
• Basic auth (where applicable)

Once endpoint selection is complete, continue with Validate endpoints.
