7 Best API Testing Tools of 2024

Today’s software testing trends show the growing demand for more efficient and automated API testing. Manual testing is not only time-intensive for internal testing teams, it can also lead to poor customer experiences. When manual testing processes cannot proactively discover issues, your customers may inevitably be the ones finding them. Many of the current test automation solutions today focus on the UI, while most API-level testing is still done manually.

In this demo-driven talk, we’ll delve into how Konnect now leverages Kubernetes as the single source of truth for its configuration, ushering in a new era of simplified API gateway management. See firsthand how this shift enables you to define every aspect of your API infrastructure—from gateways and upstream services to plugins and consumer management—using intuitive Kubernetes manifests.

How To Use Assertions In Python Selenium For Testing

When writing test automation scripts in Selenium Python, verifying that the actual outcomes match the expected results is crucial. This is where assertions come into play. Assertions help ensure that your application is working as intended by checking specific conditions and halting execution if they fail. In this blog, we’ll break down the concept of assertions in Selenium Python, provide some easy-to-follow code examples, and explain how they can make your test scripts more robust.

What is a Demo Environment?

One of the most important aspects of a product is the ability to showcase its functionality. In the API space, it’s very important for a product to not just claim something, but to show that utility and use. One of the best ways to do this is through the use of a demo environment. A demo environment is a perfect method to surface a specific use case or example for users, showcasing functionality that is often tailored to a specific interest group.

EP13: First Principle Thinking for Architects

In this episode, Sanjiva and Asanka explore the power of first-principle thinking and why it’s a must-have approach for architects. They break down how this method helps tackle complex problems by focusing on fundamental truths rather than relying on assumptions or best practices. From root cause analysis to iterative refinement, they discuss how architects can apply first principles to design innovative and scalable solutions. Tune in to rethink your approach and elevate your architectural decision-making!

Microservices vs Web Services: Key Differences

In the early days of web application development, monolithic frontends and backends were perfectly fine. But the emergence of the cloud has changed expectations. Developers want to build applications that exchange information with APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). Business owners want faster development times. End users expect zero downtime. This new paradigm enabled the rise of service-oriented architecture (SOA) and, along with it, microservices and web services.

How Exploratory Testing Can Improve Software Quality

In the fast-paced world of software development, ensuring top-notch quality is a must. One approach that has gained significant traction over the years is Exploratory Testing. Unlike scripted testing, exploratory testing focuses on real-time discovery, creativity, and problem-solving. In this article, we will understand exploratory testing, its benefits, techniques, and how tools like Keploy can support this process. Let’s get started!
