It’s common to hear software testing professionals refer to Rest API testing as simplistic. Often thinking it just involves using tools like Postman to send GET and POST requests to validate the response body or its status code. After all, internal components are activated every time a request reaches a Rest API, such as queues, databases, other services, logs, monitoring systems, and hardware, and software infrastructure, among others. Julio will go beyond these common conceptions and talk about testing for backwards compatibility, validating adherence to the Rest architecture style, evaluating token structure, testing Rest API heuristics, simulating external services, security testing, Rest API coverage, among others.
