API Testing: Environments, Tools, and Future Proofing Micro-Credential

The API Testing: Environments, Tools, and Future Proofing micro-credential focuses API testing tools, test environments, performance testing, test automation, and how to build for change and anticipate the future of API testing. Here is the knowledge you will prove you have by earning this micro-credential:

  • API Test Tools
    • Explain examples of off the shelf and open source tools for API testing
    • Explain examples of in-build API test tools
    • Summarize gRPC and graphQL test tools
  • Test Environments
    • Summarize the considerations regarding tool selection for performance testing APIs
  • Performance Test Tools and Support
    • Summarize the considerations regarding tool selection for performance testing APIs
    • Explain the advantages and disadvantages of cloud-based performance tools
    • Summarize the usage of jMeter in API testing
  • Test Automation
    • Explain why test automation is used in API testing
    • Explain the environment considerations in API test automation
    • Summarize the skills needed for the API tester when developing test automation
  • Expect Rapid Growth
    • Explain how the rapid development cycles affect testing
  • Build for Change
    • Summarize the considerations for building a test approach for change
    • Explain why maintainability of tests is necessary
  • Plan for the Future
    • Explain how API testing can be made more efficient
  • Anticipating the Future
    • Explain the factors for a tester to consider when planning for the future of API testing

This AT*SQA API Testing micro-credential is the third part of the API Testing micro-credential stack offered by AT*SQA. We suggest that you first earn the AT*SQA API Testing: Introduction and Testing Planning and Design micro-credential, followed by the AT*SQA API Testing: REST API, gRPC, and graphQL micro-credential. Finally, earn the AT*SQA API Testing: Environments, Tools, and Future Proofing micro-credential.

When you have earned all three, you will also receive the AT*SQA API Testing certification!
