API testing is a type of software testing that evaluates application programming interfaces (APIs) directly to verify functionality, reliability, performance, and security. It operates at the message layer, sending requests and analyzing responses without a graphical user interface. As a core component of integration and microservices testing, it ensures systems communicate correctly and deliver expected results under varied conditions. Key tools and frameworks used in API testing include Postman for designing and executing manual and automated API requests, REST Assured for Java-based test automation of RESTful services, and SOAP UI for functional, regression, and load testing of both SOAP and REST APIs. These tools support validation of JSON and XML responses, authentication protocols like OAuth 2.0, data-driven testing, and integration into CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and Maven. API testing is designed for QA engineers, test automation specialists, and developers working with microservices or distributed systems who need to validate backend logic, ensure service reliability, and accelerate testing cycles without relying on UI layers.
