Application Program Interface (API) is a set of tools, protocols, programs and standards developed for a specific purpose––building software applications. In modern enterprises, API testing is a commonly deployed procedure that occurs prior to the GUI testing scenario––which usually involves a series of automated and manual procedures. The initial part of API testing involves the task of configuring the database and server with respect to the application’s requirements. Once an ideal API testing environment is set up, an API call can be made to ensure stability before proceeding for further testing. But, to ensure optimal performance of the APIs, it is also very crucial to test its integrated components and features at the code level.
