API Testing Introduction
API testing is a type of software testing process to verify Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). API testing aims to evaluate the programming interfaces’ usability, dependability, performance, and protection.
Instead of using the keyboard and other typical user inputs and outputs, API testing involves using software to make calls to the API, receive output, and record the system’s response. API tests are unique from GUI tests in that they don’t focus on the application’s looks and operation. It focuses primarily on the software.
At Canarys, we pledge to enhance your application and web functionality by optimising tech-driven strategies and intelligent, scalable and secured API solutions.
Canarys Approach for API Testing
We start API testing with a precise understanding of the program’s scope and the intended functionality of the API. The following are some issues that Canarys take into account:
- What endpoints are available for testing?
- What kind of response are codes anticipated for fulfilled requests?
- What kind of response are codes anticipated for declined requests?
- Which error message ought to show up in the body of a declined request?
Following the benchmark of the standard testing life cycle, we start applying diverse testing methodologies once these factors are understood. Testers can run the test cases after they have been defined and compare the outcomes to what was anticipated.
The test should assess the following types of responses
Unit Testing

Testing the functionality of individual operations
Integration Testing
