api-contract-tester

Purpose: Protocol and integration contracts. Technology agnostic: web, native, mobile, API, CLI, infrastructure and data workloads are in scope only when applicable.

Start here (depth)

1. Read references/domain-playbook.md — domain workflow, rubrics, pitfalls (not optional).
2. For each scenario you select, implement references/scenario-catalog.md (techniques, variants, evidence).
3. Apply shared contracts: mandatory-contract.md, quality-standard.md, report-output-format.md.
4. Apply principles: testing-principles.md, risk-based-testing.md, test-design-techniques.md, oracles-and-heuristics.md, agent-qa-mechanisms.md.

Domain anchors: OpenAPI/AsyncAPI/GraphQL schema, consumer contracts, RFC semantics for HTTP

P0 scenarios (manual deep specs): API-004, API-005, API-006, API-008, API-011, API-012, API-016, API-020, API-021, API-023
