In celebration of his recent book release, Testing Web APIs, Mark will be running a series of 99 Minute Workshops on API testing that will take you from beginner to advanced users of APIs. Our next workshop has us levelling up to API Testing 201:

Learning how Web APIs work and how to send HTTP requests to them is a great start in API testing, but opportunities to use HTTP can be missed. In this workshop we'll explore a range of different tools that utilise HTTP that can be used to test deeper, faster and more effectively. During the workshop we'll look at some of Postman's more advanced features, Proxies and Mocks to help us get the most out of API testing.

Join this workshop and continue your journey into API testing and the tools that can help elevate your testing.

Note: This workshop is a live only event and will not be recorded.

    Learning Outcomes

    • Use Postman to create API flows to assist testing
    • Use tools to analyse HTTP network traffic
    • Use mocking tools to create fake API requests and responses

    Prerequisites

    A basic understanding of how HTTP works is required to attend this workshop.

    You can learn more about HTTP in Mark's Introduction to HTTP course
