about the technology

To other developers, your API is the face of your application. Thorough, well-designed testing ensures that your APIs will perform as expected, every time. Impeccable API testing goes beyond the basics of code coverage, to encompass documentation and design that sends the right information to your third-party users. A robust testing strategy helps you avoid costly errors that can damage your revenue, your reputation, and your user's trust.

about the book

In  Testing Web APIs you'll develop a diverse testing program that gets your whole team involved in ensuring quality. This practical book demystifies abstract strategic concepts by applying them to common API testing scenarios, revealing how these complex ideas work in the real world. It fully covers automation techniques like functional API automation, contract testing, and automated acceptance test-driven design that will save your team's time.

You'll map the potential risks your API could face, and use those risks as a launching point for your testing activities. A good strategy has a mix of focuses, so you'll master a wide range of API testing techniques like exploratory testing and live testing of production code. A downloadable API sandbox lets you go hands-on and experiment in a safe environment. You'll soon be ready to implement a strategy that ensures API quality and makes testing a real asset to your team.
