As software companies continue to shift towards cloud computing, mobile apps, and microservice architectures, the ability to quickly and effectively test APIs has become a critical skill for software testers. In this course, instructor Dave Westerveld covers the basics of API testing, sharing how to work with several robust tools for testing APIs at scale in an organization. After providing a primer on web services and important API terminology, Dave shows how to use Postman for some basic API exploration.

Topics include:
  • Reviewing API terminology
  • Mitigating risks related to testing APIs
  • Mapping out the layout of an API
  • API authorization and authentication
  • Finding and using bearer tokens
