" summary

Explains that GraphQL uses a single client-driven endpoint to avoid over‑ and underfetching, demonstrates converting GraphQL queries to JSON for RestAssured and Postman (Postman produces a curl snippet), shows schema and resolver tests with mocking and static type checks, warns GraphQL often returns HTTP 200 even on errors unless customized, measures query performance and DB iterations with tracing and DataLoader, and links a runnable sandbox and GitHub tests plus tools like Easy GraphQL Tester, GraphiQL playground, and Test-GraphQL-Java.
