api testing approach
Write suitable test cases for the APIs
and use testing techniques
like exploratory testing,
boundary value analysis, positive and negative
testing for understanding the functionality.
• Verify the calls with combination of
two or more value added parameters.
• Define the scope and basic
functionality of the API program.
• Define the accurate input parameters.
• Test case execution and comparison
of the results with expected results.
• Determining API behavior under
conditions like the connection with files,
etc.
- There are different types of
output observed of an API also:
The main consideration is returning
correct results under any type of
conditions. Mainly, the output or
results observed of an API are divided
into three sections as follows:
• Returning the result status
values as ‘Pass’ or ‘Fail’.
• Result as data or any specific
information.
• An event where the call to any
API function will initiate the call to
another API function
