MuleSoft Certified Platform Architect – Level 1 — Question 55

What is most likely NOT a characteristic of an integration test for a REST API implementation?

Answer options

• A. The test needs all source and/or target systems configured and accessible.
• B. The test runs immediately after the Mule application has been compiled and packaged.
• C. The test is triggered by an external HTTP request.
• D. The test prepares a known request payload and validates the response payload.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Option D is correct because integration tests typically focus on the interaction between different systems rather than on validating specific request and response payloads. The other options (A, B, and C) correctly describe necessary characteristics of integration tests, such as system accessibility and the timing of the tests.
