Exploratory API testing workshop
When we think about API testing, many times our thoughts immediately focus on tools and writing code to perform automated checks for APIs.
What we sometimes tend to forget, though, is that we might want to explore our APIs, too, to uncover any hidden problems and discover behaviour we did not consider or discuss during design or development.
Performing exploratory testing on APIs isn’t that different from performing exploratory testing on systems through a graphical user interface.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to start performing exploratory testing on APIs using common tools and some useful guidelines to help you come up with ideas for tests.
Yes, I’d like to book this workshop for my team!
What will you learn?
In this workshop you will learn, among other things:
- Why testing your APIs is important
- How the POISED heuristic can help you come up with API test ideas
- How to perform tests on APIs using common API clients and test tools
- How to interpret and present exploratory API testing results
There’s no better way to learn than by doing, so you’ll spend plenty of time performing tests on different types of APIs.
I often run this workshop using Postman or Bruno, but I’m happy to use the API testing tool of your choice, too.
Who should take this workshop?
This workshop is great for testers and developers who want to learn more about API mocking, and how to use WireMock to do so.
Some prior knowledge of APIs, HTTP and JSON and XML, as well as some experience writing code in Java or C# is beneficial, but I am confident that even without this, you will find this workshop to be very valuable.
Workshop duration and delivery
This API mocking with WireMock workshop takes 3-4 hours. It works great either as an on-site or an online in-company workshop, or as a half-day conference tutorial.
