APIs (Application Programming Interface) are the building blocks that form a significant link in today’s interconnected world of applications, programs, servers and websites. An API at its core is a formal specification that acts as a guaranteed contract amid two distinct pieces of software. It also standardizes and streamlines the flow of “computer speaks” information and enables Internet of Things (IoT). The importance of APIs is that it allows diverse organizations create software apps that rely on other app & services without having to continuously or regularly update their app when the internals of the dependent apps or services change. As long as the Application Programming Interface remains stable, User Interface and internal implementation can change. This is the noteworthy feature of Application Programming Interface, they consist of a part that does not change – “the interface or contract” that indicates the behaviors, operations, and data formats and the execution that can change as needed.
Test Automation development for API requires less code than the complete GUI based automation thus giving quick results and best functional test coverage. The outcome of testing is a reduction in overall test costs. Testing the Application Programming Interface level functionality of the app gives an early evaluation of its overall build strength prior to running GUI tests. Early detection of bugs and errors reduces the chances of higher manual testing cost. API test automation also increases the scope and depth of the tests.
