benefits of api testing
We can start testing process EARLY and the more bugs we catch in API level testing, the less bugs we will see on UI. API level of application is developed before the UI part. Test for Core Functionality: API testing provides access to the application without a user interface. Time Effective: API testing usually is less time consuming than functional GUI testing. The web elements in GUI testing must be polled, which makes the testing process slower Language-Independent: In API testing, data is exchanged using XML or JSON. These transfer modes are completely language-independent Easy Integration with GUI: API tests enable highly integrable tests, which is particularly useful if you want to perform functional GUI tests after API testing.
