API Testing journey

  API Testing journey   I've been working on learning API testing for quite some time. I was only aware of the acronym API, which stands for application programming interface, until 2022. I started my search on Google because I wanted to learn more than that.  I Completed the following courses on various education platforms: 1. Coursera — Postman - Intro to APIs (without coding) 2. Coursera — Start Your API Testing Journey With Postman Tool 3. Udemy —  REST APIs with Postman for Absolute Beginners 4.  MOT - https://github.com/g33klady/TodoApiSample/tree/main/Resources . https://github.com/g33klady/TodoApiSample 5. LinkedIn Learning — API Testing Foundations 6. Test Automation university: https://testautomationu.applitools.com/exploring-service-apis-through-test-automation / 7.

In order to test an API endpoint, I

  Observation: How it has helped me as a tester? In one of the chapters of her book, "Explore IT," Elizabeth Hendrickson discusses observation and how it is crucial for exploratory testing. Checking logs for surprises is one technique to observe during testing. I was brought back to my days as a mid-level test engineer while reading it. On the user's side, the product appeared to be relatively straightforward, but it actually had a sophisticated architecture and a lot of moving components. For this product, there were very few user interactions; everything took place in the background, and logs were essential for troubleshooting.

  Postman celebrated the introduction of Postman Flows this week in San Francisco, on August 16th 2023. Following the release of Postman Flows a few months ago, Beth Marshall posted a YouTube video explaining how testers might use it for API testing procedures.   Ever since I started my API testing journey, I've been watching for Postman's announcements, challenges, You Tube Live sessions, and demonstrations. So I made the decision to go to this event as well.    When I arrived , Postman Flow was being used to welcome every registered guest. My name flashed on the welcome board when I clicked Run on their flow they had created after signing in (I forgot to take a picture of it). Greetings flow Two customers demonstrated how they are utilizing Flows to address issues and open up new possibilities. One of them includes a flow designed specifically for integration testing.   I was able to use Flows to design my very own, uniquely branded Postman YETI and select the swag I wanted (
