API TestingA NICHE CATEGORY IN SOFTWARE TESTING

API testing

Interfaces to the core application logic Becomes very important for testing

Types of API Testing

Unit testing Functional testing Web UI testing Security testing Load testing Runtime error detection

API Tester Guidelines

Prioritize API function calls Automate grouping of test categories

& priorities Analyze successful and failed

outcomes Add stress to the testing environment

through load tests Check robustness in handling tricky

issues & loads

Challenges of API Testing

Tester requires detailed knowledge of the interpretations

The white-box approach pushes the tester to be conversant with core logic

Making API Testing Effective

Strategize for the Tests A unified framework can be put to

use for testing various protocols

Keep the Data Dynamic Validating results using data from a

database, file, or previous responses

Make the API Tests Intuitive API descriptions like Swagger should

be imported to build API tests quickly

Automate testing Refactoring approaches to be

designed to update tests

Adopt a Continuous Approach with Ease

Integrate appropriately into continuous and agile software development

Tools for Continuous Testing Graphical API testing tools like

SoapUI NG Command-line support for

automated regression testing

SDK and IDE support for developer-first testing patterns

Developer First
