- **🧠 Testing Approach**:
  - Unit testing of REST API endpoints
  - File separation aligned with API documentation
  - Response validation based on documented API behavior

# 🧪 Included Tests

The automated tests are implemented in the following file: create_kit_name_kit_test.py

⚠️ Known Issues
Test cases 3, 4, 8, and 9 do not return the expected 400 status code due to a known bug in the API. These failures are documented and are not related to test implementation.

# ▶️ How to Run the Tests

From the project root directory, open a terminal (Git Bash) and run: pytest create_kit_name_kit_test.py
