Do you know the types of AP I testing?

We have curated a list with brief descriptions of each type of API testing for your understanding. Check it now!

Validation Testing

Verify API inputs and  to ensure outputs they conform to specified data formats and standards, preventing data inconsistencies.

Functional Testing

Assess API functionality by evaluating its ability to perform intended operations, handle exceptions, and produce expected results.

Load Testing

Determine how well an API performs under various levels of simulated user traffic, identifying potential bottlenecks or performance issues.

UI Testing

Test the integration between the API and the user interface to ensure seamless interaction and proper data exchange.

Runtime/Error Detection

Monitor APIs in real-time to detect and address runtime errors, exceptions, and unexpected behavior for robust system performance.

Penetration Testing

Evaluate API security by attempting to exploit vulnerabilities, helping uncover weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious users.

Fuzz Testing

Assess API resilience to unexpected or malformed data inputs, uncovering potential vulnerabilities and improving error handling.

Interoperability Testing

Validate API compatibility with different platforms, systems, and versions to ensure seamless communication and data exchange.

WS Compliance Testing

Ensure API compliance with Web Services (WS) standards and protocols, promoting interoperability and adherence to industry standards.
