Sold Out!NewJust getting started on your application programming interface (API) testing journey? Need to better understand APIs and how to effectively test them? Join Lianne Klaver for this introductory tutorial as he discusses API concepts, examples, test strategies, and techniques. Lianne describes the message architecture of REST APIs and discusses elements such as API resources, verbs, states, headers, and tokens. She shares examples and demonstrations of REST APIs in operation to give you a better understanding of how they work. Then learn by doing with exercises that enable you to recognize typical risks related to API interfaces. Participants who bring their laptops will have the opportunity to do the exercises on the API provided and make a collection of tests. Leave with an understanding of how APIs enable data to be collected and pushed from a back-end system or application to serve other business logic and information requests.
