Course details

How do you test your API to ensure it's working as intended and solving business problems? Most API testing doesn't actually test the API. In this course, Keith Casey teaches you how to test and validate your API by using behavior-driven development, or BDD, to test APIs via their external endpoints. Keith looks at the API from the consumer’s point of view, confirming that problems experienced by your end users are being solved. Join Keith in this course to learn how to prove that your APIs are working exactly as we expect today, tomorrow, and continuously.

    While I learned some new things, there were a couple of areas in the lesson where the posted code did not work and I had to troubleshoot with other tools to get it to work. I felt like some of the api calls weren't well explained so there was a lot of copying by rote. I finally figured out where there documentation was in the attached files.
