API Testing is a type of software testing that focuses on testing Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). APIs provide an interface for different software systems to communicate with each other, and API Testing ensures that the API is functioning as intended and delivering accurate results.
We specialize in providing comprehensive API testing services that ensure your APIs are thoroughly validated and functioning at peak performance. API Testing involves verifying the functionality, performance, security, and compatibility of the API. It is typically conducted using both manual and automated testing methods to ensure thorough testing and validation.
APIs have become a crucial component of modern software applications, allowing for seamless communication and integration between different systems. However, ensuring that APIs are functioning as intended and delivering accurate results can be a challenging task. This is where our API Testing Services come in.

API Testing Methodology
API testing methodology is a systematic approach to testing Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). It involves a series of steps that help to ensure that the API is thoroughly tested and validated. Here are the steps involved in API testing methodology:
Identify APIs
The first step in API testing methodology is to identify the APIs that need to be tested. This involves reviewing the API specifications and requirements and identifying the APIs that are critical for the functionality of the software application.
Develop a testing plan
Once the APIs are identified, the next step is to develop a testing plan. This involves defining the scope of the testing, the testing objectives, and the testing approach.
Create test scripts
The next step is to create test scripts that cover all the functional and non-functional aspects of the API. This includes testing for functionality, performance, security, and compatibility.
Execute tests
Once the test scripts are created, the next step is to execute the tests. This involves both manual and automated testing methods to ensure thorough testing and validation.
Report and track defects
During the testing process, defects and issues are identified. It is essential to report and track these defects to ensure that they are addressed and resolved.
Analyze test results
After the testing is complete, the test results are analysed to determine if the API meets the specifications and requirements. This includes analysing the functional and non-functional aspects of the API.
Repeat testing
If defects or issues are identified, the testing process is repeated until all the defects are resolved, and the API meets the specifications and requirements.
