From Button Clickers to Business Thinkers: Testing APIs with Context

Modern software testing demands more than just executing test cases — it requires a deep understanding of business context and system behavior.

In this session, the speaker shares a personal journey from being a listener to stepping up as a speaker, highlighting the evolution from execution-focused testing to context-driven quality thinking.

The session will explore:

  1. Why testers must understand the business context to test effectively
  2. Moving beyond “button clicking” to strategic thinking
  3. Applying the Autumn Framework for structured API testing
  4. Introducing a practical acronym to simplify API testing (manual + automation)
  5. Bridging the gap between technical validation and business impact

This is a practical and experience-driven session designed for seasoned testers, focusing on real-world application, mindset shift, and actionable techniques.

Key Takeaways

1. Attendees will be able to get the locators of Mobile & Web Applications very quickly

2. Attendees will know how to quickly create Rest Assured based Java Test cases just on the basis of YAML Files.

Think outside the Testing Pyramid

I’ve seen testing, especially end to end testing, done wrongly over the years, and sadly I often see the same anti-patterns repeated over and over. so I thought it would be worthwhile to share my thoughts on this complex topic.
