- Comprehensive Test Coverage: Tests all major HTTP methods and response scenarios
- Detailed Reporting: Generates HTML and JSON reports for test results
/users- List all users with pagination/users/{id}- Get single user/users?delay={n}- Test delayed response/unknown- List all resources/unknown/{id}- Get single resource
