Hello everyone, Hope you are all doing well. We are aware that API testing is getting a lot of attention nowadays and we testers are more curious to explore it. But, often we felt lost in the middle of nowhere. It’s because of the lack of the basics. Before handling the API, you should know some basic stuff about that API. What type of API is that? What protocol is used by the API? Sounds interesting? Today we will learn about the types of APIs and the types of protocols used by the APIs.

Smartphones have revolutionized our lives, and you’re likely reading this on one. It’s hardly shocking to consider how pervasive mobile gadgets have become. Nearly half of people polled in a February 2021 survey conducted by L.Ceci via Statista spent five to six hours a day on their phones, not considering work-related smartphone use. Mobile devices handle more than half of all searches worldwide. Additionally, page speed is becoming a factor in mobile search engine rankings.

All software must be tested to ensure that it works as intended before being released to the public. Testing must be rigorous to ensure that users are satisfied with it and have no complaints. A bad review, or negative word of mouth, of your software, can hamper its success on the open market or mean that staff will not use the new software.

Plenty of development life cycles are involved in a software project, so selecting the correct one becomes difficult. Software Development Models should be selected wisely by looking at the budget, team size, project criticality, and criticality of the product. Choosing the suitable model will improve the efficiency of your IT projects and manage risks associated with the software development lifecycle.

Testing for quality assurance (QA) is a fundamental and essential component of software development. Not only is it necessary to ensure that all the critical elements of software projects are in place to be delivered on schedule, but it also contributes to raising the project’s overall quality. This is why QA candidates need to have a strong understanding of various concepts and be able to answer tricky questions.

Starting a company that works in any field is an exciting journey. We start with probably ten people and almost no user base in the initial days. But if our services are user-centric and our product solves a good problem, we will grow in both these dimensions. When our user base grows, and we expand our services, we generally ask our engineers to make our systems even better for them.

In the simplest terms, a test environment is an interface (often a virtual environment) when software tests are executed. This includes the server required to power test infrastructure and hardware and software configurations to match specific projects and use cases; devices, browsers, operating systems, automation frameworks, network configuration, data, streaming implementation for testing over the cloud, etc.

In the 2018 WWDC talk, Tim Cook said, “We’re also happy to announce that this week we’re going to achieve another huge milestone. The money that developers have earned through the App Store will top $100 billion.” He further announced, “There are now 20 million registered developers on the App Store.” Although, this number might be way out of the ballpark considering that 2016 statistics showed just 2.8 million iOS application developers.

To understand the difference between the Selenium Standalone server and the Selenium server, we need to go back to the Selenium history. Released in 2002, Selenium is an open-source tool, shipped with Apache Open Source License 2.0. Since web technologies have undergone many changes, automation frameworks like Selenium also had to go through changes. Interestingly Selenium is the most popular automation framework today as well.
