API Testing

API testing is the process of checking the functionality, reliability, and performance of application programming interfaces (APIs), which allow different software applications to communicate with each other. Think of an API like a waiter in a restaurant; it takes your order, communicates it to the kitchen, and brings your food back. Testing ensures that the API accurately requests and delivers data as expected, works under various conditions, and can handle errors gracefully. This helps ensure that applications function smoothly and efficiently when they interact with one another.

    API testing is a process used to verify that the application programming interfaces (APIs) of a software system work correctly. APIs are sets of rules that allow different software applications to communicate with each other. Testing ensures that these interactions function as intended, respond accurately, and handle errors properly. It checks whether the API can send and receive data, and if it meets performance standards and security requirements. By validating APIs, developers can ensure that different parts of a software system and third-party services will work together seamlessly, enhancing overall application reliability and user experience.
