A Quick Recap:
The “Zero Complexity API Testing” is a three-part blog series that highlights the vital importance of API testing, breaks down barriers with AI, and unlocks new possibilities in the future of API Testing.
We all have questions about API testing automation. Some of the basics, like “What is API testing process?” or “Can you QA test on APIs?” are readily available off the internet. This blog series dives much deeper into the nuances of API testing with the help of a real-life scenario.
In Zero Complexity API Testing—Part I, we covered the critical role of API testing and the challenges faced by UI testers moving to API testing. We saw how Emily, a lead tester at a rapidly growing e-commerce company, faced an API glitch that caused frustration and confusion among the customers. In spite of knowing what the API testing process is, Emily chose to make it an optional process, leading to a panic situation.
In Part II, we discussed how Emily’s team could have avoided the above situation with Qyrus’ codeless testing capabilities for APIs. We saw how Qyrus simplified the testing journey by creation and execution of API tests, making them accessible to non-technical testers. We also covered AI in API testing and Qyrus’ support for codeless assertions, API specification imports, data-driven testing, API chaining, and AI-assisted assertions.
In Part III (this blog), we’ll discuss the future of API testing with Qyrus.
With Qyrus, Emily’s team transformed their approach to API testing. The simplicity and power of Qyrus allowed them to focus on improving the overall quality of their e-commerce platform. They were no longer worried about the technical complexities or time-consuming setups. Instead, they could confidently test their APIs, knowing that Qyrus had their back on the testing journey.
Empowering Teams with AI and Advanced Features
The AI-assisted assertions and performance testing capabilities of Qyrus empowered Emily’s team to achieve more in less time. They could ensure that their APIs were functional, reliable, and performant without getting bogged down in the technical details. The support for multiple API types and the Qyrus API Discovery Chrome plugin further enhanced their testing capabilities, making Qyrus an indispensable tool in their testing journey.
Unlocking the Future of Software Testing with New Possibilities
Qyrus opened up a world of possibilities for Emily’s team:
- Enhanced Test Coverage: With codeless testing and AI-assisted assertions, Emily’s team could quickly create comprehensive test cases that covered all aspects of their APIs. This improved their test coverage and reduced the risk of critical bugs slipping into production.
