Overview

Api Testing is a critical part of ensuring the reliability and performance of APIs in the APIMAN ecosystem. It involves validating the functionality, security, and scalability of API endpoints through automated or manual test cases.

Key Concepts

  • Endpoint Validation: Confirming that API endpoints return the expected responses.
  • Performance Testing: Ensuring APIs handle high traffic efficiently.
  • Security Testing: Checking for vulnerabilities like injection attacks or unauthorized access.

Tools for Api Testing

Here are some popular tools used in the APIMAN community:

  1. Postman

    Postman
    A widely-used tool for developing and testing APIs.

  2. JMeter

    JMeter
    An open-source tool for load and performance testing.

  3. Swagger/OpenAPI

    Swagger_OpenAPI
    For automated testing based on API definitions.

Best Practices

  • Always test for edge cases and error handling.
  • Use version control for test scripts.
  • Monitor response times and resource usage during testing.
