As software companies continue to shift towards cloud computing, mobile apps, and microservice architectures, the ability to quickly and effectively test APIs has become a critical skill for software testers. In this course, instructor Dave Westerveld covers the basics of API testing, sharing how to work with several robust tools for testing APIs at scale in an organization. After providing a primer on web services and important API terminology, Dave shows how to use Postman for some basic API exploration. He then goes over some basic approaches and methodologies used in testing GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests; shows how to approach performance testing using SoapUI, a popular automated API testing tool; and more.
With industry trends like cloud computing and the Internet of Things, there is a growing need for testers that know and understand API testing tools. One powerful and mature tool used by companies around the world is SoapUI. This course is designed to help you get started with SoapUI and covers the basics of how to use it. Instructor Dave Westerveld explains how to set up your first project, create new tests, perform load and security testing, and make your tests more automated and efficient with scripting. Plus, learn how to integrate SoapUI with Docker-based build pipelines. The training is filled with examples featuring real-world, public APIs so you can see how SoapUI functions in real testing scenarios.
