AT*SQA Micro-Credentials - API Testing: REST API, gRPC, and graphQL

The API Testing: REST API, gRPC, and graphQL micro-credential focuses on understanding the characteristics of REST, gRPC, and graphQL, plus functional and non-functional API testing. Here is the knowledge you will prove you have by earning this micro-credential:

• Introduction to Quality Characteristics for Representational State Transfer (REST) API Testing
  • Understand what a REST API is
• Functional Testing
  • Understand what a REST API data contract is
  • Understand what a REST API header is and what might be included in an API header call
  • Understand REST API response validation
  • Understand REST API data handling
  • Understand REST API versioning and what triggers an API version change
  • Understand the differences between paths and parameters
  • Understand factors in good API test design
• Non-Functional Testing
  • Understand what should be covered in non-functional API testing
• Introduction to gRPC and graphQL
• gRPC
  • Explain the difference between gRPC and REST
  • Explain the difference in error codes between gRPC and REST
• graphQL
  • Explain the purpose and use of graphQL

This AT*SQA API Testing micro-credential is the second part of the API Testing micro-credential stack offered by AT*SQA. We suggest that you first earn AT*SQA API Testing: Test Planning and Design micro-credential, followed by the AT*SQA API Testing: REST API, gRPC, and graphQL micro-credential. Then, lastly, 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!
