Practice app · Acme REST API
A live REST + GraphQL API with auth, validation, pagination, rate limiting and an interactive request console.
Your starter code already declares BASE_URL — call the API relative to it.
Objective
Cover the email input of POST /users with one representative per equivalence class.
Your task
- 1Define partitions: valid new email → 201, malformed email → 400, already registered (ada@acme.test) → 409.
- 2POST BASE_URL + "/users" with { "name": "Partition Test", "email": <value> } for each partition.
- 3Assert the status and error.code (VALIDATION_ERROR / EMAIL_TAKEN) per partition.
Acceptance criteria
- POST /users returns 201, 400 and 409
- The partitions are data-driven
- At least 3 assertions pass
