Using 404 which means Not Found.

Using 500 which means Server Error.

The status code 200 means the request was successful.

medium

Complete the code to verify the response status code is in the 4xx client error range.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'below(400)' which checks for codes less than 400.

Using 'equal(400)' which only checks for exactly 400.

The 4xx range indicates client errors, so the status code should be between 400 and 499.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to correctly assert the status code is 201.

Postman

pm.test("Status code is 201", function () {
    pm.response.to.have.status([1]);
});

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using quotes around the number making it a string.

Using descriptive text instead of the numeric code.

The status code should be a number, not a string or text.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to check if the status code is either 200 or 204.

Postman

pm.test("Status code is 200 or 204", function () {
    pm.expect(pm.response.code).to.be.oneOf([[1], [2]]);
});

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 201 which means Created, not requested here.

Using 400 which is a client error.

200 means OK and 204 means No Content, both are successful responses.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to assert the status code is between 200 and 299 inclusive.

Postman

pm.test("Status code is success range", function () {
    pm.expect(pm.response.code).to.be.within([1], [2]);
    pm.expect(pm.response.code).to.not.equal([3]);
});

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A199

B200

C299

D300

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 199 as lower bound which is not a valid success code.

Including 300 which is outside the success range.

The success status codes range from 200 to 299. We exclude 300 which is a redirection.
