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
Strengthening the API strategy API management platforms API description formats API Performance Monitoring Front-end functional testing Prompt Issue tracking SDK generation IoT and other protocols
