API stands for Application Programming Interface and allows communication between different software applications or services. It acts as a messenger that takes orders from clients and returns responses. API testing is important as it validates APIs and their integration with services, and missed cases in API testing can cause major problems in production. Common HTTP methods used in APIs include GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, and OPTIONS. Tools like Postman can be used to test APIs by sending requests and validating responses.
Most of us have in our IT careers worked on REST Api's and SOAP requests without deep diving into what they exactly represent. This presentation was created from a testers perspective to understand the concept of API & WSDL and how they come to represent REST and SOAP requests

An Introduction To Automated API TestingSauce Labs
As more and more apps are being assembled from a rapidly expanding array of microservices, APIs are the key to accessing these new architectures. That new feature you’re working on will often rely on upstream services that can only be accessed via APIs - so to test the functionality of the new component you’ll need to simulate those services.
While APIs are the backbone of the websites and apps we rely on today, automated testing of them is only starting to grow. Join Patrick Poulin, CEO of API Fortress, as he provides an introduction to API testing, the best ways to test your own APIs using popular tools available today, and demonstrates the orchestration of API tests and Sauce Labs tests as part of a Jenkins build process.
Key takeaways:
-Clearly understand what API testing means.
-Learn about best practices.
-See demonstrations of popular testing tools.
-See API and UI/UX testing implemented as part of a Jenkins build.

Modern development teams are delivering features at a rapid pace using modern technologies such as containers, microservices, and serverless functions. Operations and infrastructure teams are supporting these rapid delivery cycles using Infrastructure as Code, Test Driven Infrastructure (TDI), and cloud automation. Yet, most security teams are still using traditional security approaches and can't keep up with the rate of accelerated change.
Security must be reinvented in a DevOps world to take advantage of the opportunities provided by continuous integration and delivery pipelines. In this talk, attendees will take a journey through the DevSecOps Toolchain broken down into the key phases: pre-commit, commit, acceptance, production, and operations. We will explore the pre-commit and commit phases in-depth, identifying security controls, open source tools, and how to integrate these tools into a pipeline. Attendees will walk away with a practical approach for weaponizing the toolchain and building a successful DevSecOps program.

API Testing: The heart of functional testing" with Bj RollisonTEST Huddle
View webinar: http://www.eurostarconferences.com/community/member/webinar-archive/webinar-81-api-testing-the-heart-of-functional-testing
An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a collection of functions that provide much of the functional capabilities in complex software systems. Most customers are accustomed to interacting with a graphical user interface on the computer. But, many customers do not realize the much of the functionality of a program comes from APIs in the operating system or program's dynamic-link libraries (DLL). So, if the business logic or core functionality is exposed via an API call then and if we want to find functional bugs sooner than API testing may be an approach that provides additional value in your overall test strategy. Additionally, API testing can start even before the user interface is complete so functional capabilities can be tested while designers are hashing out the "look and feel." API testing will not replace testing through the user interface, but it can augment your test strategy and provide a solid foundation of automated tests that increase your confidence in the functional quality of your product.

A Practical Guide to Automating End-to-End API TestingpCloudy
In recent times we have heard alot about APIs and their applications. It has gained so much popularity that today it has become one of the integral parts of the Software Development process. In this blog post we will learn about API, and how to test the same using automation. API is the abbreviation for Application Programming Interface. It is a set of methods and procedures that developers expose to other programmers to have their applications communicate and interact with other applications. Designing an API is half of the work, and the rest half is about testing the same to provide a truly secure, reliable and scalable connection between platforms.
Now to perform API testing we have a wide variety of tools available in the market, but the most used one is Rest Assured framework. This is quite easy to use and as it has a steep learning curve. Before we will explore the usage of API Automation, we should understand an API and specifically what are the validations we need to perform in end-to-end API Testing.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Api Testing.pdf
1. What is API?
API stands for the Application Programming Interface, They are basically a collection of functions and
procedures which allows us to communicate two application or library.
For example, It like a connector as seen in the picture. All data connects to our organization through API.
In one line, API is its an interface between different software programs or service.
2. Simple Examples is,
Suppose you go to a restaurant.
API is the messenger that takes your order(waiter) and tells the system(kitchen) what to do (to prepare food)
and in return gives back the response you asked for (waiter returns with the ordered food).
Source - Quora. https://www.quora.com/What-is-an-API
Type of APIs :-
3. What is API Testing?
When we talk about API Testing,
API testing is testing that APIs and its integration with the services.
It is one of the most challenging type of testing, If we miss the certain cases in API Testing that can cause a
very big problem in production after full integration and it will hard to debug in production environment..
In this definite guide,
We are basically discussing about the REST API Testing.Where we need to test the REST APIs for the
validation, error codes and load testing.
What is REST API?
As REST is an acronym for REpresentational State Transfer, statelessness is key. An API can be REST if it
follows the below constraints.
The REST architectural style describes six constraints. These constraints, put on the architecture, were initially
communicated by Roy Fielding in his doctoral dissertation and defines the basis of RESTful-style.
1. Uniform Interface
2. Stateless
3. Cacheable
4. Client-Server
5. Layered System
6. Code on Demand
Uniform Interface
The uniform interface constraint defines the interface between clients and servers.
In other terms,
First constraint of the REST API states that the Client and server has to communicate and agree to certain
rules based on resources(they should communicate with same resource like json, xml, html , txt) and with
proper encoding like UTF-8 extra.
4. Another point they should communicate with the Self-descriptive Messages e.g Use the same MIME types.
Stateless
APIs in REST are stateless and Client and server doesn’t worry about the state of the request or response..
Cacheable
According to the World Wide Web, clients can cache responses. Responses should therefore, implicitly or
explicitly, define themselves as cacheable. Its upto server when they want the cache to expired etc.
Client-Server
Client and Server are two different entity, It means that servers and clients may also be replaced and
developed independently, as long as the interface is not altered.
Layered System.
It means that the between client and server there can be any number of layered systems it does not matter.
Code on Demand
Server can store the Code or logic to themselves and transfer it whenever needed rather client side logic.
If any API fulfill all the constraints then we can it REST API.
5. Difference between REST API vs SOAP API.
We have already discussed REST API , Lets now Learn what is SOAP API.
SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) is a messaging protocol that allows programs that run on disparate
operating systems or services like frontend or backend to communicate using Hypertext Transfer Protocol
(HTTP) and its Extensible Markup Language (XML).
SOAP uses WSDL is an XML format for describing network services as a set of endpoints operating on
messages containing either document-oriented or procedure-oriented information.
Enough of background lets come to topic…
What to Test in API Testing?
● Validate the keys with the Min. and Max range of APIs (e.g maximum and minimum length)
● Have a Testcase to do XML,JSON Schema validation.
● Keys verification. If we have JSON, XML apis we should verify it's that all the keys are coming.
● Verify that how the APIs error codes handled.
Lets understand why API Testing is important…
6. Why you should perform API Testing?
● Many of the services that we use every day rely on hundreds of different interconnected APIs, if any
one of them fails then the service will not work.
● Right now, Internet uses millions of APIs and they should be tested thoroughly.
● Developers make mistake and they create buggy APIs..
● Validation of APIs is very important which are going live to production.
Above image shows the architecture of an application and notice that API Testing is important part..
Now…
Lets learn one more concept HTTP Methods
HTTP - Fundamentals
HTTP is an application layer protocol designed within the framework of the Internet protocol suite.

HTTP is a stateless protocol. In other words, the current request does not know what has been done in the
previous requests.

What is Authentication and its types lets understand it...
What is Authentication?
Authentication is a process of presenting your credentials like username, password or another secret key to
the system and the system to validate your credentials or you. In the API terms Authentication is used to
protect the content over web mean only a valid user with valid credentials can access that API endpoint.
These credentials tell the system about who you are. Which enables the system to ensures and confirms a
user’s identity. Here system can be anything, it can be a computer, phone, bank or any physical office
premises.
Basic authentication - String is encoded with Base64.

form.(With Some Salt etc)
OAuth- Authentication protocol that allows you to approve one application interacting with another on your
behalf without giving away your password.
E.g OAuth 1, 2.

Just for more information, URL can be broken down into the further chunks like protocol, host , post and query
params. More discussion is out of scope for URL
Lets Understand what all HTTP methods are present
