My previous company was testing only GET calls. Now I need to practice with other type of calls (POST, PUT, DELETE). I can not find any site that is free for POST API calls, and that it have up to date documentation with the API explanations. I have tried with google maps (they are not allowing free authorization any more), Jira change ...
Often, if the API is part of your infrastructure you can test it pretty thoroughly through unit testing and the use of the product that consumes it. If it is an externally consumable API then you need to be much more thorough because people could use it in different ways than you might expect and send data in much different formats, etc.
I'm looking at writing at automated tests to cover regression testing in respect of Restful API's. I have familiarity with how to do this in Java using Rest Assured, however the company I currently work for is a .NET house so it would make sense to write the automated tests in Visual Studio using c# as the programming language.
Discovery testing: The test group should manually execute the set of calls documented in the API like verifying that a specific resource exposed by the API can be listed, created and deleted as appropriate; Usability testing: This testing verifies whether the API is functional and user-friendly.
API is preparing excel and make it available to download. I would start with API testing: Sending http requests to create few meetings for current week; Sending http request to prepare download link with excel; Sending http request to download excel file from previous request; And then try to think about other test scenarios for this API
If the API is properly documented, the test should be making sure that the API server actually behaves as documented in the specification. What proper documentation is depends on the type of API. If it's a REST API, documentation should be in the OpenAPI format, and if it's a GraphQL API, it should an SDL schema.
1. There might be some "best practices" for testing certain API kinds, but most of the time you test API like and other interface. An "add user" API should be tested the same way as a "add user" UI control, and only then some more. Share. Improve this answer.
11. This is one of the most common needs today and consequently a common interview question. This question is intended to be a canonical answer to the general question of "How do I test an API". Other questions in this vein are more specific. For this question I am going high-level as indicated by the short question title. Do you mean remote API?
I am creating automated tests for testing a server's API endpoints. It is connected to a database and making requests to its API endpoints can result in it grabbing data from the database and, possibly, processing said data before returning it.
My primary focus will be to make API Calls and to verify Status Code and Json response.If you know any library which makes this task easier please answer. As of now I am using Postman-Newman Apache
