WHY API TESTING

API’s are the intermediate between the presentation layer and the database layer of a system and it is the primary factor which completely integrates the systems together. API acts as a messenger that takes requests to the system returning back with a response based on the intended command.

API Testing Services is carried out either directly or as a part of integration testing to actuate if they meet the expectations as per the defined specification in terms of functionality, performance and security. During the API testing, the data is exchanged from XML or JSON through HTTP requests and responses. API tests are performed at the business layer even before the GUI of the application is arrived this helps to fix bugs and validate logical issues at the early stages of application development lifecycle without being dependent upon the arrival of UI.

DAWN's comprehensive API testing solutions addresses the functional and performance challenges in API validation through manual as well as implementing the best practices of API automation strategy since Agile’s success majorly depends on early feedback whereas the UI level tests are costly and takes a too long to provide feedback. At DAWN, we also integrate API automated tests to the CI build server’s to provide quicker feedback of the application’s health and performance by the time it is deployed. Moving forward we improve the test coverage, test significantly faster than the human user and eliminate the human error and performance bottlenecks.
