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. In this workshop we're at API Testing 202:

API automation is a desirable skill to have right now, but how does one go about creating API tests? Fortunately, there are tools that exist that allows us to quickly create API automation without requiring to setup large frameworks and understanding programming languages in depth. In this workshop, we'll explore how we can use the automation features of Postman to create automated API checks and then run them as part of a CI pipeline.

Join this workshop and kickstart your automation journey with API automation.

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