Understand how APIs enable systems to communicate and use Postman to create collections, send requests, view responses, and automate tests for REST APIs.
Explore the REST architecture, where web APIs use stateless, resource-based design with URIs and standard HTTP methods, enabling uniform interfaces, cacheability, and layered client–server communication.
Explore the HTTP protocol and its secure version HTTPS, including how clients and servers exchange requests and responses, with headers, methods, and bodies, and how REST APIs operate over HTTPS.
Explore http status codes, headers, and bodies in rest api testing with postman, learn to inspect requests and responses, and validate json payloads and endpoints.
Learn to use API documentation as a testing guide, detailing base URL, endpoints, parameters, requests, responses, and HTTP status codes. Explore Swagger, Read the Docs, curl examples, and Postman integration.
Learn hands-on api testing with postman by performing create, read, update, and delete operations against the RESTful Booker public api, validating responses, status codes, and token-based authentication.
Automate api testing with postman by running collections via monitors, collection runner, and newman cli, and integrate into ci/cd pipelines with detailed html reports.
In this REST API Testing with Postman: Practical Hands-On Course, you'll dive deep into the world of API testing, starting from the basics and progressing to advanced topics. APIs play a vital role in modern software development, connecting different systems and applications, and testing them efficiently is crucial to ensure their reliability and performance.
In this course, you'll learn everything you need to know about REST APIs and how to test them effectively using Postman, one of the most popular tools in the industry. We'll start by covering the fundamentals of REST APIs and the HTTP protocol, including methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. You’ll learn how to interact with API endpoints and understand the responses returned by the server.
Once you’re familiar with the basics, we’ll move on to creating Postman collections to organize your API tests, and you’ll perform CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete). You’ll also work with environments and variables to handle dynamic data and make your tests more flexible.
The course also covers API test automation, where you'll learn how to automate your API tests using Postman’s scripting capabilities, schedule test runs, and analyze the results. By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills to test REST APIs confidently and effectively, enhancing your quality assurance capabilities.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced tester looking to improve your skills, this course offers practical hands-on experience that will help you become proficient in API testing.
