When it comes to testing software applications, various testing techniques can be employed. Three common testing methods are unit testing, integration testing and end-to-end testing. All these different kinds of testing overlap, so you just can’t implement one or two forms of testing and you will be good. Like if you are in the initial stage of development you can write a few unit tests which a developer can run once he makes changes to a function.

REST endpoints that join table data typically allow you to retrieve and combine information from multiple tables or data sources in a single API call. These endpoints enable complex queries and data aggregations, often using JOIN operations, to return a unified dataset, simplifying data retrieval and reducing the need for multiple requests and manual data processing. They are commonly used in database systems and data analytics platforms to efficiently access and manipulate interconnected data.

The growth of APIs continues to drive our digital economy, and API management underpins the success of every modern application and the businesses that depend on their success. Today, we are very excited to announce the release of an essential guide to building and managing next-generation API platforms with GraphQL. Kong and Apollo, as leaders in the respective areas of API management and GraphQL, have partnered to author a thorough technical examination of next-generation API platforms.
