API Brief And Automation Testing

 APIs : 

API stands for Application Programming Interface. Companies use the API at the business layer to integrate the system with different kinds of existing or new web services.

Architecturally we have 3 types of APIs :
1. SOAP
2. REST
3. ASP.NET

Currently, most companies are designing their products by implementing REST APIs over SOAP because of its advantages.

When companies are working on .Net technology they prefer to use ASP.NET specified REST API.

API automation challenge : 

Though API needs separate testing to check its performance and behavior. So it can become a tedious task for those testers who have complete exposure to web application automation testing, mobile automation testing, desktop automation testing, database testing, etc.

How to start doing API testing : 

To automate API's we have lots of tools, jars, packages that help us to make API automation easier. In this series of blogs, I will try to cover API automation using the python language and java. which will help you make your problems solved and also we will try to create a framework for API automation with multiple features covered under that.

Tools and Technology : 

Following are some of the widely used tools or technologies to test APIs

The list of tools and technology is big as the companies can have different requirements of tools and technology selection based on their needs, The first choice for them is to use open source tools to work. I will post the multiple open-source tools and how we can handle API testing with those in upcoming blogs.


Please follow me for an exciting journey of understanding API automation processes with multiple tools and technologies.
