Why is API Testing important?
API Testing verifies that your API endpoints work as expected, ensuring reliability, security, and performance. It helps catch bugs early in the development cycle.
What types of tests should I perform on APIs?
Common tests include functional testing (e.g., CRUD operations), security testing (e.g., authorization checks), performance testing (e.g., load and stress tests), and integration testing.
How can I automate API Testing?
Use tools like Postman, Newman, or REST Assured to create test suites that run automatically. Integrate tests into your CI/CD pipeline to catch regressions early.
What are best practices for API Testing?
Write clear, repeatable test cases, use mock data or environments, and test edge cases and error scenarios. Regularly update tests to reflect API changes.
