 Introduction

Application Programming Interfaces are the connection structure between different systems or levels of an application. Applications generally have three levels: a data level, a service level (API), and a presentation level (UI). The API level contains the business logic of an application: the rules by which users can interact with the application’s services, data, or functions. Since the API or service level directly affects the data layer and the presentation layer, this is the ideal point for continuous testing for quality control and development teams. Although traditional testing has focused on the user interface, the benefits of API testing are becoming increasingly known. Although there are many aspects of API testing, it is usually necessary to make requests to one or sometimes multiple API endpoints and review the response, either for performance or security reasons, functional fixes, or simply a status check. While the UI test may focus on verifying the appearance of a web interface or on the operation of a specific payment button, the API test places much more emphasis on testing business logic, data and security responses, and performance bottlenecks.

What is API Testing?

The API test is a type of software test in which the API (Application Programming Interface) is tested directly and as part of the integration test to determine whether they meet expectations in terms of functionality, reliability, and reliability. APIs do not have a graphical user interface; API tests are performed at the message level. API tests are now considered critical for test automation, as APIs are now the primary interface for application logic and GUI tests with release cycles are difficult to maintain

Types of tests can be performed in API tests:

• Functional test – to check if the API works and does exactly what it needs to do
• Reliability test – to check if the API can be connected and produces consistent results consistently
• Validation Test- Allows you to examine aspects related to the product, behavior, and efficiency of an API
• Load test– performed to ensure API performance in normal and peak conditions
• UI Test-  involves testing the UI for the API and other integral parts
• Security test- to check if the API is protected from all possible external threats
• Penetration test-  to identify vulnerabilities in an application from the perspective of an attacker
• Fuzz test – to test the API against the limits to prepare the “worst-case scenarios.”

Challenges of API Testing

• There is no graphical interface that makes it difficult for testers to provide input values
• Managing test cases is difficult because a tester may have to manage millions of test cases
• The tester must have experience in API-controlled programming languages
• It takes time, takes a lot of time and resources to develop design tools and tests
• Inadequate documentation makes it difficult for a test designer to understand the purpose of API calls
• Adequate call order is required as this may result in insufficient test coverage
