Testing Beyond the Surface: Advanced Strategies for Rest Api Testing

Are you tired of hearing Rest API testing referred to as simplistic and easy?

It's time to dig deeper and explore advanced strategies that go beyond the surface level. In this talk, I'll cover topics such as contract testing, backwards compatibility, adherence to the Rest architecture style, token structure validation, Rest API heuristics testing, simulating external services, security testing, and performance testing.

I will share tools and tips that will help you elevate your Rest API testing game and gain more insights into complex internal components. By the end of the talk, you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to define appropriate testing techniques for your context and be more efficient in your test planning and strategies. So join me for a fun and informative discussion on Testing Beyond the Surface: Advanced Strategies for Rest Api Testing, and discover how you can take your Rest API testing to the next level!
