Description
It would be useful to have a suite of acceptance tests that can be run against any backend that tries to provide the same API as plone.restapi (for example: Nick). In other words: a test suite that can be pointed as a configured API URL, rather than setting up plone.restapi in process.
This would be useful for:
- checking compatibility
- comparing performance
Maybe it is possible to convert the existing test suite (especially the functional tests that produce the examples in the docs) with help from an LLM.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing acceptance and functional test suite, especially the tests that produce documentation examples, and how it currently sets up plone.restapi in process. Determine how the suite could accept a configured API URL and run against another backend. Done means the tests can target a compatible backend without requiring plone.restapi in process.
