Topic coverage
REST API topics we can work through with your actual brief
The page focuses on requirements, architecture, implementation and software quality. Each topic below should connect to a deliverable, test or explanation instead of appearing as isolated terminology.
01REST API planning
When the brief includes REST API planning, identify exactly what the marker expects to inspect. Build or analyse that part with VS Code, record meaningful evidence, and connect the outcome to a traceable link between requirements, design decisions and implementation.
02REST API implementation
REST API implementation often earns marks in more than one place: implementation, testing and explanation. Use Git/GitHub to make the work reproducible, then discuss the important assumptions, edge cases and limitations.
03REST API testing
When the brief includes REST API testing, identify exactly what the marker expects to inspect. Build or analyse that part with browser DevTools, record meaningful evidence, and connect the outcome to a traceable link between requirements, design decisions and implementation.
04REST API documentation
When the brief includes REST API documentation, identify exactly what the marker expects to inspect. Build or analyse that part with Postman, record meaningful evidence, and connect the outcome to a traceable link between requirements, design decisions and implementation.
05REST API debugging and evaluation
REST API debugging and evaluation should not appear as an isolated feature. Show how it interacts with the rest of the REST API task, how you tested it, and what the result means for the final technical report.
