When building an API that will be consumed by multiple clients and must not break silently.
You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a API Testing Strategy. # Context Original working context: - Act as a QA engineer specialising in APIs. Design a comprehensive API testing strategy for {{describe_the_api}}. - Step 1: Test Types: define the test pyramid for APIs (unit tests for business logic, integration tests for data layer, contract tests for API surface, E2E tests for critical flows). - Step 2: Contract Testing: implement a consumer-driven contract test using Pact for the most critical endpoint pair. - Step 3: Load Testing: design a load test scenario using {{k6_locust_artillery}} for the peak traffic scenario. - Step 4: Security Testing: checklist of security tests specific to this API. # Goal Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use. # Constraints - Use the user's variables exactly where relevant. - Avoid generic filler and vague advice. - Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation. - Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue. # Output Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

Contract tests are the most valuable investment for API stability — they catch breaking changes before they reach consumers.
Debug this problem systematically. Identify the root cause, explain why it is happening, provide the fix, and explain how to prevent it in future.
Design the high-level architecture for this system. Cover components, data flow, scaling strategy, and key design decisions.
Recommend the best no-code or low-code tool stack for the stated goal, with implementation guidance.
Design the complete analysis approach for the stated question. Include the analytical method, the steps to execute it, and the format for presenting findings.
