What is API Testing? Benefits, Types, and Best Practices
API testing is the process of verifying that APIs are working and performing as expected. Developers and QA engineers test APIs by sending requests to various API endpoints and validating the responses against expected outcomes. The goal is to determine if the APIs meet the set standards for functionality, performance, scalability, and security. This process includes testing the “happy path” scenarios and negative cases to ensure proper security checks are in place.
