API Automation Mastery: From Novice to Ninja
APIs are vital for modern software and tech. Why? Because apps are becoming more complex due to: rapid tech advancements, the need to integrate various components, and demand for sophisticated features. But more complexity means more risks of bugs, security flaws, and performance issues. To tackle these risks — API testing is crucial to ensure software reliability, security, and performance. Also, API testing helps developers save time. How? By finding issues early in development rather than fixing them in production. So…teams NEED to improve their API testing skills in today's fast tech world. This will help them avoid: operational disruptions, data breaches, user trust loss, and non-compliance issues. It will also help them open new opportunities and boost their career growth. This session is for everyone. Beginners will learn what APIs are and how to test and develop with Postman.
