API testing is a type of software testing in which a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) directly and as part of an integration test to determine if they meet expectations for functionality, reliability, performance, and security. It provides several key advantages to improve the coverage of the test cycle, conserve resources and more efficient releases. Based on the project timeline, integration requirements, and desired functionality, API testing is usually a useful approach when testing applications in-house or with an offshore QA team.
Postman Tool
Postman is an interactive and automatic tool for prototyping the APIs, and it furthermore has some great testing features. It is used for testing APIs, by sending the request to the web server and getting the response back. It presents a friendly GUI for constructing requests and reading responses. It allows for repeatable, reliable tests automated and used in a variety of environments and includes useful tools for persisting data and simulating how a user might be interacting with the system.
