Today, all applications run on API. It connects one microservice to another, clients with servers, and runs the most basic yet essential application services. Clearly, a well-oiled API is imperative to ensure the smooth functioning of every system. If API breaks down, the complete user experience and application are put at risk. And only proper API testing can secure the system from such downtime possibilities.

Moreover, the lines between the physical and digital worlds have become increasingly blurred, and few people think twice about using mobile tickets to attend an event or checking a digital watch to track a workout. However, security has not kept pace with the demands of today’s digital ecosystems.
