As backend developers, it's important to be familiar with the following API tests: 1. Smoke Testing: Conducted after API development is complete, this test simply validates whether the APIs are functioning correctly and nothing is broken. Tools: Postman, Insomnia. 2. Functional Testing: This involves creating a test plan based on the functional requirements and comparing the results with the expected outcomes. Tools: Postman, SoapUI. 3. Integration Testing: Combines multiple API calls to perform end-to-end tests. It verifies intra-service communications and data transmissions. Tools: Postman. 4. Regression Testing: Ensures that bug fixes or new features do not break the existing functionality of the APIs. Tools: Postman, Selenium. 5. Load Testing: Assesses the application's performance by simulating different loads to determine its capacity. Tools: Grafana k6, Apache JMeter. 6. Stress Testing: Deliberately applies high loads to the APIs to check if they can continue functioning normally under stress. Tools: Grafana k6. 7. Fuzz Testing: Injects invalid or unexpected input data into the API to try and crash it, identifying potential vulnerabilities. Tools: ZAP Special thanks to ByteByteGo for their free system design book. You can read more from their free book.
