Tools to help you with API testing thumbnail
Talk Description

Testing an API often starts with understanding how it’s meant to work. From there, you might explore how it behaves with different inputs, and eventually automate appropriate checks. In this 404 Talk, Julia Pottinger walks through three tools that support each of those stages. 

You’ll see one tool that helps you explore and understand API documentation, one designed for manual testing and experimentation, and one for automating your tests in code. Each one is shown in action with practical examples, highlighting when and why you might choose it.
