ever wondered how apps like Instagram, YouTube or even your favourite weather app get data from different places so quickly? Behind the scenes, they use something called APIs. APIs are like messengers that allow apps to talk to each other. But just as we test video games prior to releasing them, APIs must be tested to ensure they run properly and effectively. This is where API testing comes in.<\/p><p>In today\u2019s software development world, API testing is a big deal and one of the most popular tools for doing it is called Postman. Whether you are learning on your own or through great online resources like <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/proleed.academy\/software-testing-training-course.php\">Software Testing Course<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, Postman is usually one of the first tools you will use to learn how APIs are built and tested.

It takes requests, sends them to the right system and takes back a response. In software applications, APIs are the bridge between components or services.<\/p><p>API testing ensures that communication like above is working as intended. Testing will ensure that the right data is sent or received, right responses are returned and errors are handled properly. Testing also tests the performance of the API, e.g. response times, and looks at performance in the timelines of edge cases, e.g. invalid input or slow servers.<\/p><p>This matters because modern applications are using APIs extensively. An API that goes down can cause widespread failure in the application, so good API testing is critical to ensure the foundational stability, performance, and usability of the applications.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db728a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"db728a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Types of API Testing<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ecdfe38 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ecdfe38\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There are many variations of the testing depending on what you want to test.<\/p><ul><li>Functional Testing is confirming the API actually performs the function it is supposed to.
