API Smoke Testing
Verify all API endpoints return healthy responses by combining codebase analysis with HTTP requests.
Workflow
1. Discover Routes
Search the codebase for API route definitions:
Next.js (App Router): app/api/**/route.ts
Next.js (Pages Router): pages/api/**/*.ts
Express: Look for app.get(, app.post(, router.get(, etc.
Django: Look for urlpatterns in urls.py
FastAPI: Look for @app.get(, @app.post(, decorators
Rails: Look for routes.rb
Build a list of endpoints with their HTTP methods.
