Answer from AI

A positive test case for the DELETE operation might look like this:

Title: Successful deletion of an existing object

Preconditions: An object with a unique identifier exists in the system.

Steps:

  1. Send a DELETE request to the delete endpoint with the correct identifier.
  2. Verify that the server returns a status of 200 OK or 204 No Content.
  3. Attempt to retrieve the object using the same identifier.

Expected result:

  • The response to DELETE confirms successful deletion.
  • Attempting to get the object returns a status of 404 Not Found or similar, confirming that the object has been deleted.

Example on REST API:

DELETE /api/items/123 HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com

---
HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

GET /api/items/123 HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com

---
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

This test verifies that the delete operation is successful and the object truly disappears from the system.
