api testing means code example
Example 1: api testing approach
Write suitable test cases for the APIs and use testing techniques
like exploratory testing, boundary value analysis, positive and negative
testing for understanding the functionality.
• Verify the calls with combination of two or more value added parameters.
• Define the scope and basic functionality of the API program.
• Define the accurate input parameters.
• Test case execution and comparison of the results with expected results.
• Determining API behavior under conditions like the connection with files,
etc.
- There are different types of output observed of an API also:
The main consideration is returning correct results under any type of
conditions. Mainly, the output or results observed of an API are divided
into three sections as follows:
• Returning the result status values as ‘Pass’ or ‘Fail’.
• Result as data or any specific information.
• An event where the call to any API function will initiate the call to
another API function
Example 2: API testing example
In my last project. I did API testing for an internal project
employee info Old application exposed the restful api for easy
integration with other apps so I tested the app functionality
works in api layer. I have experience both in testing and
automating in Postman and automating using RestAssured Library
