    Hey @Anh Vu,

    Can you confirm your nonAPI testing experience.....assuming 5 minimum testing other phases...e.g. functional, uat, oat, performance, security?

    Im always a fan of doing rather than reading....bit for api testing the subject requires a fair bitof additional knowledge...likewise the readyapi! UI is not as intuitive as it could be.

    Using performance as an example. There are 2 concepts in perf that are used quite extensively.

    'Pacing' and 'think time'. 2 simple concepts that change everything in a perf test when they are used. Without appreciating those 2 concepts would totally alter my understanding of a perf test that used them.

    Hence im suggesting a lot of initial reading! Just my opinion.....no doubt it differs tremendously from everyone else's! :)

     

    oh - I think Tanya or msiadak created a pinned post about getting started  with ReadyAPI! - its here - so I'd suggest looking at this before going anywhere else I suppose as this is probably a good start

    Cheers,

    Rich
