Talk Description
After spending countless hours in testing GUI and backend, numerous bugs are encountered in production. Whatâs missing? Due to the crunch of resources and time, API testing is generally skipped and thatâs where a lot of bugs resides. However, noticing the increase in the number of APIs used for development of years, itâs crystal clear that API testing is the new king!

Join the talk to know about her tale of shifting perspective from browsers, button, textboxes to requests, response and endpoints.
