API testing utilizes programming to send calls to the API and get the yield. It testing regards the segment under test as a black box. The objective of API testing is to confirm right execution and blunder treatment of the part preceding its coordination into an application. REST: Representational State Transfer.

Hi liked this blog, clearly mentioned everything.as I am working on postman from last month, I got stucked somewhereWhile uploading archive zip file using postman, I’m able to attach file as binary in body and run it manually. However, while executing as part of collection, it is failing since it is not able to read the file.And if I want to run same collection attached with achieve file on Newman, which command I can use.Do you think I’ve to add it to the request body as form-data? If yes, what will be the key. Please advise.PFA, Reply as soon as possibleAttachment(s)Upload Archive.docxPreeti.
Before going to API Testing, let's first understand What is an API?API is an acronym for Application Programming Interface.It enables communication and data exchange between two separate software systems. A software system implementing an API contains functions/sub-routines which can be executed by another software system. What is API Testing?API Testing is entirely different from and mainly concentrates on the business logic layer of the software architecture.
This testing won't concentrate on the look and feel of an application.Instead of using standard user inputs(keyboard) and outputs, in API Testing, you use software to send calls to the API, get output, and note down the system's response.API Testing requires an application to interact with API. To ensure complete test coverage, create test cases for all possible input combinations of the API.Types of Bugs that API testing detects. Fails to handle error conditions gracefully. Unused flags. Missing or duplicate functionality.
Reliability Issues. Difficulty in connecting and getting a response from API. Security Issues. Multi-threading issues. Performance Issues.
