Short notes I keep while learning how to test APIs properly: what to test, how to mock things, and which tools actually save time.
These are working notes, not a course. I update them when I learn something that changes how I test.
- Postman alternatives I've tried: what I tested when moving off Postman, and when each tool makes sense
- API testing basics: the types of API tests and what each one catches
- Mocking dependencies: why mocks matter and the usual ways to create them
- Turning real traffic into tests: the record-and-replay approach I use now
- Tools I use: my current toolbox, with notes on when I reach for each one
I also write longer posts on my blog.
Disclosure: I work at Keploy, one of the tools mentioned in these notes.
