API Testing is an essential process for ensuring the functionality, reliability, performance and security of programming interfaces. In contrast to GUI tests that evaluate a user's visual experience with an application, it involves using software to make calls directly to a programing interface which then records its response. With this approach testers can validate all aspects of communication between applications rather than being limited by standard inputs from keyboards or mouse clicks.
Understand the API
The first step in testing an API is to understand what the API does and how it works. This includes understanding the input and output parameters, as well as the format of the data that is returned.
Set up a test environment
The next step is to set up a test environment in which to test the API. This environment should be separate from the production environment, as it will allow you to make changes without affecting live data.
Write test cases
Once the test environment is set up, you can begin writing test cases. Test cases should cover all aspects of the API, including positive and negative tests.
Run tests
After all of the test cases have been written, they need to be run in order to verify that the API works as expected.
Analyze results
Once all of the tests have been run, the results need to be analyzed in order to identify any errors or issues.
Fix errors
If any errors or issues are found, they need to be fixed before the API can be considered ready for production use.
