All About API Testing

Software testing landscape is changing, its not just about functional testing anymore, paradigm shift happen in the recent evolution of the Technology and Platforms.


Not only Functional Testing but Nonfunctional Testing also provides an interesting aspect to quality of the deliverables. Hence in recent years Non Functional Testing "SUPAR" weightage has increased in the era of testing.

In this blog you will gain a full insight on what is API Testing and how we need to carry it out for optimal quality.


API (Application Programming Interface) is a computer interface that allows two different software systems to communicate and share data.


Without APIs, the seamless digital interactions we enjoy every day with our computers, smartphones, TVs, and other devices would not be possible.


API testing helps developers to determine whether APIs meet expectations for functionality, performance, reliability, and security. The intention is to find bugs and any other unexpected behavior so your users don’t end up with a bad or insecure product. You want to make sure that you release APIs that work efficiently and effectively, or they won’t be adopted.


In this series of blogs, we will discuss below items in detail.


In the below mind map we have tried to provide a visualize envision all about API testing which will not only provide the better understanding on API and API testing.

But also share few interesting aspects on the guidelines from the extensive experience I have gained in my testing career.


Let’s learn about what is API before talking about API testing as basics must be clear before going forward. For better view of the image please download below file.
