Exploring Service APIs through Test Automation
|
Learn about the importance of thorough testing for service APIs and discover tools like Postman for API exploration and automation. Improve your test strategy and integrate tests into a continuous integration environment.
What exactly is a service API, and why is it so important to make sure that they have their own thorough test cycle?
We’ll also be looking at some tools for API discovery and exploration, so you can see exactly which APIs your products are using.
We’ll do a deeper dive into the Postman tool, so you can really dig into those APIs.
We’ll go over the P.O.I.S.E.D. testing heuristic, so you can improve and expand your test strategy.
Finally, we’ll bring it all together by showing how you can use Postman to run automated tests, do data-driven testing and include your tests in a continuous integration environment.
