Performing tests repeatedly define some best practices for making testing successful.
Enlisted below are some best practices for API testing:
- Test cases should be grouped under category with expected results that happen consistently and other typical results.
- Test cases should include selected parameters as well as API call declarations.
- API load tests are performed to determine system application stress.
- Maintain the limits of the variables used in the tests as well as avoid ‘Test Chaining’.
- To make ease for the testers, API call is being prioritized and call sequencing is planned.
- Every input combination and dependencies are considered for complete test coverage.
- Automation of the test cases, documentation is done as and when required.
