Request Query Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`category`	Enum of type String	Specifies the test category from which tests are retrieved. If this parameter isn’t specified, tests in all categories are retrieved. You can’t specify multiple categories in the same call. This parameter is available in API version 66.0 and later. Existing categories are: `apex`—Retrieves only Apex test classes. `flow`—Retrieves only automated flow test classes.
`showAllMethods`	Boolean	Specifies whether to retrieve all methods (`true`) or only visible methods (`false`) in a test class. If this parameter value isn’t specified, the default value is `false`. Results adhere to standard Apex visibility rules, which are influenced by factors such as namespace, managed package origin, access modifiers, and user permissions. For example, if a test class is private, then it isn’t retrieved unless `showAllMethods` is set to `true`.
`namespacePrefix`	String	Specifies the namespace from which tests are retrieved. If this parameter isn’t specified, tests in all namespaces are retrieved. All automated flow tests are in the FlowTesting namespace. In namespaced packages and orgs, the full namespace of an automated flow test is `FlowTesting.namespacePrefix`. In API version 66.0 and later, to query for only flow tests in all namespaces, set the `category` query parameter to `flow` and don’t specify a `namespacePrefix`. To query for only flow tests in a specific namespaced package or org, set the `category` query parameter to `flow` and set `namespacePrefix` to the namespace. In API version 65.0, to query for only flow tests, set the `namespacePrefix` to `FlowTesting`. To query for flow tests in a specific namespaced package or org, set `namespacePrefix` to `FlowTesting.namespacePrefix`.
`nextRecord`	String	A cursor that specifies the first test class to retrieve in the next page of results. This value is included in the `nextRecordUrl` property of the current page.
`pageSize`	Integer	Specifies the number of test classes to retrieve per page. If this parameter value isn’t specified, the default value is `1000` classes. The maximum value is `10000` classes.

Request Body

None.

Response Body Properties

Name	Type	Description
`apexTestClasses`	Object[]	An array of Apex test class objects. If there aren’t any tests in the result set, the value is `[]`.
`size`	Integer	The total number of test classes in the result set across all pages. If the result set is empty, the value is `0`.
`nextRecordsUrl`	String	The URL of the next page in the result set. If the current page is the last page in a result set, the `nextRecordsUrl` value is `null.`
`testSetSignature`	String	An MD5 hash that represents the test classes and methods in the result set. If there aren’t any tests in the result set, the value is `""`. When a result set spans multiple pages, the `testSetSignature` can change from one page to the next. A different `testSetSignature` indicates that the tests in the result set have changed since the retrieval of the previous page.
`message`	String	An informational message about the request, such as an input validation warning, or `null` if there is no applicable message.

Each Apex test class object in the apexTestClasses list includes these properties.

Name	Type	Description
`id`	String	The Salesforce ID of the test class. All Apex test classes have an ID. Not all flow test classes have an ID. If the flow test class doesn’t have an ID, then the `id` value is `""`.
`name`	String	The name of the test class. For a flow test, the `name` is the API name of the flow.
`namespacePrefix`	String	The namespace of the test class. Apex tests are in the default namespace. If an Apex test is in a namespaced package or org, the `namespacePrefix` value is `"NamepacePrefix"`. Otherwise, the `namespacePrefix` value is `""`. All flow tests are in the FlowTesting namespace. If a flow test is in a namespaced package or org, the `namespacePrefix` value is `"FlowTesting.NamepacePrefix"`. Otherwise, the `namespacePrefix` value is `"FlowTesting"`.
`testMethods`	Object[]	An array of test methods in the test class. Each test method object includes the `name` property, which is set to the name of the test method. For example, `{"name": "testSimpleAddition"}`. A flow test method name includes the API name of the flow followed by an underscore (_) and the API name of the flow test. For example, `{"name":"FlowName_UpdateRecordFlowTest"}`
