Mastering Cypress API Testing: A Comprehensive Guide with Examples
Application Programming Interface, popularly called as APIs are an important aspect of software development lifecycle not only from the dev point of view but also from the testing perspective. These APIs facilitate interaction between different systems to exchange data. Hence, it becomes extremely important to test these APIs thoroughly to ensure seamless functioning of the application. In this article we will explore API Testing with Cypress Testing Framework and see how we can automate our APIs for efficient testing. We will cover below points in this article- Overview of API Testing API testing involves sending the HTTP Request, be it the GET, POST, PUT, DELETE(or other methods) to the backend server and retrieving the responses.
