In IBM API Studio, the Form view lets
you auto-author tests using an intuitive interface that uses the API schema to guide
input.
About this task
IBM API Studio automates test creation by
allowing you to configure request details, headers, authentication, and expected responses without
writing YAML. The structured layout helps you define and manage test parameters efficiently, making
test authoring faster and more accessible.

IBM API Studio creates the test, assertions, and
environments files in the tests folder within your current project folder. The test
file is placed at the top level, while assertions and environments are organized into dedicated
sub-folders. These files are linked to the test file to define validation rules and execution
contexts.
What to do next
The test is configured and ready to run. For more information, see Running authored tests by using UI.
