CORE API TESTING SKILLS
API Testing Fundamentals
Understand the core concepts, testing strategies, and workflows used in modern API testing.
Core API Testing Skills You Will Learn
Build practical API testing and automation skills used by modern QA and software engineering teams.
REST API Testing
Test REST endpoints by validating status codes, request headers, payloads, and response data.
Postman Automation
Automate API tests using Postman collections, environments, and JavaScript test scripts.
API Test Case Design
Design structured API test cases covering positive, negative, boundary, and edge scenarios.
Automation & Integration
API Security Testing
Identify common API security vulnerabilities and validate authentication, authorization, and data exposure.
JSON Data Validation
Validate JSON schemas, response bodies, and nested API data structures.
Newman API Test Automation
Execute automated Postman test collections using Newman through command-line and CI workflows.
CI/CD API Test Integration
Integrate automated API tests into CI/CD pipelines for continuous validation and fast feedback.
Industry Tools & Technologies
Learn and practise with the same tools used by professional QA and software engineering teams to test, automate, and integrate APIs in modern applications.
Postman — Design, send, and automate API requests while validating responses, status codes, and data structures.
Swagger / OpenAPI — Explore and validate API contracts using OpenAPI specifications to design and generate test scenarios.
REST APIs — Test real REST endpoints to validate responses, error handling, authentication, and API behaviour.
JSON & API Data Structures — Inspect and validate JSON payloads, schemas, and nested API data structures.
Git & GitHub — Manage and version control API test scripts and collections using Git and GitHub repositories.
Newman — Run Postman collections from the command line and integrate automated API tests into CI/CD pipelines.
GitHub Actions CI/CD — Automate API testing workflows by triggering test runs on every push, pull request, or deployment pipeline.
VS Code — Develop, manage, and debug API test scripts using professional developer tools and extensions.
