API Testing with Postman & Microservices: Step-by-Step Guide

What you’ll learn:
API Basics: Understand the difference between APIs and web services, the benefits of APIs & various types of architectures, including monolithic & microservices
RESTful Services: Learn REST fundamentals, differences from SOAP, and key concepts like HTTP methods, headers, status codes, and CRUD operations.
Postman for API Testing: Master Postman with hands-on practice, exploring requests, collections, variables, tests & automation with Newman and Collection Runner
Mocking APIs: Set up mock servers for API testing. Learn when and why mocking is needed to simulate API behavior in different scenarios.
Advanced Topics: Dive into microservices messaging, REST vs. GraphQL, Kafka for async communication, and real-world API testing with tools like WireMock.
Authentication and Authorization: Grasp OAuth, JWT, and explore real-world examples of securing APIs with hands-on exercises for Spotify, Twitter, and more.
Real-world Projects: Build a Spring Boot application with MySQL or H2 DB, gaining hands-on experience in how APIs function in real-world environments.
Agile API Testing: Learn how API testing fits into Agile workflows, create test cases, integrate with JIRA, and apply these concepts in real-world project.

Requirements:
Basic knowledge of software testing concepts and methodologies.
Access to a computer with internet connectivity to download and install Postman.
Experience with using web browsers and navigating web applications.
