Key Topics Covered

Introduction to API Core Components in Test Automation

The session begins with an introduction to API core components in test automation frameworks, focusing on their role in test data preparation, verification, and integration with web and mobile testing.

Understanding Web APIs and API Testing

A brief overview of web APIs, their importance in software testing, and popular API testing tools such as REST Assured, Postman, and GraphQL. The discussion emphasizes the significance of API reliability, security, and performance testing.

Building an API Testing Framework

Demonstrates the implementation of an API client adapter to interact with APIs, leveraging retry mechanisms, circuit breakers, and request execution measurements for better stability.

Integration of API Testing with Web and Mobile Frameworks

Explains how API testing is incorporated into existing test automation setups for seamless data verification and pre-test data setup.

Design Patterns for API Testing

The use of Factory, Repository, and Builder design patterns to structure API tests effectively and improve maintainability.

Handling API Authentication and Authorization

Covers different authentication mechanisms such as OAuth, JWT, and API keys, with an emphasis on implementing secure authentication workflows.

Implementing Plugins and Observers in API Testing

Details how to extend API test functionalities using plugins, including logging, retry logic, and event-driven test execution.

Test Data Management Using APIs

Explores how APIs can be used to create, update, and delete test data dynamically, ensuring clean test execution environments.

Performance Monitoring of API Calls

Introduces methods for tracking API response times, logging execution times, and ensuring performance benchmarks are met.

Integration with Cloud Services and CI/CD Pipelines

Shows how APIs are integrated with cloud-based services like LambdaTest and Azure Blob Storage, facilitating automated test execution and result storage.

Error Handling and Debugging in API Tests

Discusses techniques to handle API failures, response validation, and debugging API-related issues in automation scripts.

Using Swagger and OpenAPI for API Documentation

Highlights the benefits of API documentation tools like Swagger/OpenAPI for auto-generating API client libraries and improving test automation efficiency.

Best Practices for Scalable API Test Automation

Concludes with key best practices such as modular test design, optimized API request handling, and effective use of automation frameworks.
