Re: [Day 3/5] APIvsUI - Which skills does a tester need to do API testing?
Which technical skills are required? The technical skills required for APi testing are -understanding to the concepts of what are APIs and the purpose they are serving. -Kinds of status code they should return in different cases. - what kind of media-type and content type it supports . -The protocol on which they are running. Which skills help a person grow in the API Testing carrier? -To properly assess whether the output as given by the API is correct, a tester would need to know at least something about the internal workings of the API (i.e., perform white-box testing rather than traditional black-box testing) Is attending API Testing courses required? Which ones can you recommend? There are no such API testing trainings or courses required. There are lot many tools available in the market wich can be used for API testing such as SOAPUI, POSTMAN,RESTCLIENT etc. Practicing and observing different services behaviour let you understand the scenarios or deep knowledge for the same.6 years agoPlace ReadyAPI QuestionsReadyAPI Questions1KViews0likes0CommentsDataSource loop over Request and Response Excel
Hi, I tried the below mentioned solutionfor testing my REST web services with Request and Response Excelsheets placed in same Workbook Data Source 1 Test Request Data Source Loop 1 (Datasource: Data Source 1, Target: Test Request) Data Source 2 Test Request Copy Data Source Loop 2 (Datasource: Data Source 2, Target: Test Request Copy) DataSource 1 which is Request data imported from Excel sheet 1 gets loop over and hit consecutively. But, when we reach at DataSource 2 and try to loop over with Response data ,we found that we are only having last run of the test request data .Hence, I am not able to verify all my actual responses against Expected responses(which is in DataSource 2 and looped over). I tried achieving from my test case as – Fetch data from Request Data putit in the RESTRequest one row per run ,hit that Verify the response of each run against expected data saved in ResponseData using Groovy. Kindly help with the problem.

Hi, I am also trying to do my testing same way in SOAPUI like I created: 1. Request Data Source 2. Response Data Source 3. Test Request 4. Groovy to perform assertion with expected data from the response Data source which is a excel file. 5. Data Source Loop over Request Data Source. Here i am seeing that my test case fails because it iterates over only Request Data Source not on Response Data Source. It picks all the values one by one from Request Data Source and cmpares it with first iteration of Response Data Source only I also tried to loop over ResponseData Source as well but it does not work. Kindly Help! Regards Shivani6 years agoPlace ReadyAPI QuestionsReadyAPI Questions2.4KViews0likes1Comment
