API Testing Best Practices to Follow in 2018
2
An app can be divided into 3 layers data layer,
logic layer, and presentation layer
3
APIs come into play in the logic layer
4
API testing is, in general, very similar to
software testing, like performance testing
5
API testing enable testers to find critical
bottlenecks that may be missed during testing
6
Common Reasons Why API Tests Fail
7
Inaccurate automated test cases

Inaccurate automated test cases
Limitations (hardware software)

Inaccurate automated test cases
Limitations (hardware software)
Flawed or unstable functionality

How To Prevent API Test Breakdown

• API Communication
• Virtualization

12
API Communication
13
A tester needs a source to communicate with APIs
14
SmarBear SoapUI and HP Service Test are some of
the available tools
15
Virtualization
16
There are times when a tester is limited to
resources or components
17
There are times when a tester is limited to
resources or components
Some components may not be available while
testing the APIs
18
There are times when a tester is limited to
resources or components
Some components may not be available while
testing the APIs
API virtualization ensures that the testing
process continues as planned
