Failures and Alerts

You can configure the test retry and alerts in the Failures & Alerts section of your API Project's Testing Settings. Since these configurations are made at the API Project level, they will apply to every test within the API Project.

Toggling on the "Retry on failure input number times" will cause the test to automatically re-execute, the inputted number of times, after the first failure. In the example above, the test will automatically execute one additional time after a failure.

RapidAPI Testing can deliver alerts through the following methods:

Alert types

On Error alerts are sent after a selected number of consecutive test failures (including retries). To help reduce alert fatigue you can set a limit to the frequency of On Error alerts during a failure state.

An On Recovery alert is sent when a test recovers from a failure. On Recovery alerts are only active when the "Send alert when a test recovers" option is toggled on (pictured below).

An On Success (webhook only) alert is sent each time a test is successful. On Success alerts are only active when the "Send alert on a successful test result" option is toggled on (pictured below).
