Techniques for writing reliable API tests and QA automation
- creichert 10y agoI've been building a lot of API and web app testing automation and wrote an article to share what I've learned. To sum up some bigger points: - use as little end-to-end tests as possible - when end-to-end tests uncover bugs, write new unit tests - dilligently remove flaky tests and tests that don't provide value - keep test data consistent, short-lived, and as small as possible Would love to discuss problems anyone else has encountered testing APIs and web services.
