Course Description
Welcome to “API Testing and Basic Overview of JMeter”
If you are a Test Engineer, or a person who wants to pursue a career in Test Engineering, then you are well aware of the fact that you must know how to carry out API Testing as APIs are an integral part of any application whether it is a Web or a Mobile Application. And if you don’t know anything about API Testing, and are looking for a simple way to learn about it, then this course is definitely for you.
This course is for beginners, and it does not require any prior knowledge about API Testing or JMeter, as we will cover it all. We will start with introducing the concept of API and discuss about API testing so we can get a clear idea of what an API is, how to perform its testing and why it is important. We will also learn about some of the Web API types which are commonly being used, which will be a brief overview. Then we will learn all about the structure of the API Request and API Response.
There is one thing to note about in this course, we will be looking into detailed structure of a REST API Request and Response, and we will be testing REST APIs in particular when working with JMeter. Eventually we will learn about all the important components which we need to know about when working with JMeter to create an API Testing flow. Why JMeter? JMeter is one of the most popular tools used worldwide in Test Engineering domain. It is open source and can be used for carrying out API automation testing.
By the end of this course, you should be confident to work with JMeter for automating REST API Testing.
