  • The different components of API and Microservices testing
  • Relation of MSA (microservices architecture) to API and SOA
  • Different standards for API
  • Test design techniques for API testing
  • Life cycle of API testing techniques including security, load, and interoperability
  • A hands-on view of API testing with popular tools like soapUI and Postman
  • Automation at API testing level
  • Contract First Testing in Microservices
  • Extended Tools for Microservices testing

Prerequisites

  • At least 2 years of testing experience
  • Familiarity with Web Applications
  • A basic knowledge of Javascript (highly recommended)
