Complete exercise one over at The Club using popular API testing tools such as Postman, SoapUI, and API Fortress
Yet Another Challenge! Ministry of Testing got us 30 days Testing Challenge.
This time topic is on API Testing.
It has been long time I have worked on API Testing, after learning from API Testing Dojo (year 2015).
Seventh Challenge is Complete Exercise one over at The Club using popular API testing tools such as Postman, SoapUI, and API Fortress.
Goal
Execute some simple API calls using as many tools as possible!
Objectives
- Send a GET and POST request
- Gain exposure to many API testing tools
Exercise
Complete the GET and POST call on a test API.
Example
Using https://automationintesting.online created by Mark Winteringham and Richard, do the following:
- Do a GET call against https://automationintesting.online/room/ , you should get 1-N rooms returned
- Get a token by doing a POST against the auth API at https://automationintesting.online/auth/login endpoint. You’ll need to send the following JSON in order to get a token back.
{
"username": "admin",
"password": "password"
}
