With a method taking the enum as the body, the enum value needs to be entered without curly brackets, simply

"expiredTest"

or

2

directly in the Body tab (with raw and JSON(application/json) and an ASP.NET Core backend).

Providing you have a method that takes [FromBody]TestStatus status as a parameter.

  • Click on Body tab and select raw, then JSON(application/json).

  • Use this Json:

    {
    "TestStatus": "expiredTest"
}

  • Send!

I think above is your case as you stated: "take enum object as a body". Below are some more trivial ingredients:
If you have a parameter like [FromBody]MyClass class and its definition as 

public class MyClass
{
    public Guid Id { get; set; }
    public TestStatus ClassStatus { get; set; }
}

Then you modify your Json as:

{
    "Id": "28fa119e-fd61-461e-a727-08d504b9ee0b",
    "ClassStatus": "expiredTest"
}

Just pass 0,1,2... interger in the json body to pass enum objects. Choose 0 if required to pass the first enum object. Exmple: { "employee": 0 }
