Application Programming Interface (API) testing is a sort of software testing that examines APIs, or application programming interfaces. These testing services attest to the accuracy, functionality, security, and dependability of an application. When running test cases with the aid of API testing tools, QA teams gain from API automation. You utilise software to submit requests to the API, retrieve output, and record the system's answer rather than utilising typical user inputs (the keyboard) and outputs. 

We all know Managing Large Scale Projects are very challenging. As we face many challenges that an organization faces while deploying and managing the computer software testing process (STLC) software testing life cycle these challenges can be overcome using the following best practices available in the testing industries.

Software Testing | Security Testing

What is security testing?

Security testing is a type of software testing that identifies vulnerabilities in systems and ensures that the system's data and resources are secure from potential intruders. It ensures that the software system and application are free of threats or risks that could result in a loss. Security testing of any system is focused on identifying all potential loopholes and weaknesses in the system that could result in the loss of information or the organization's reputation.

What is Cross Browser Testing?

We've all probably noticed that some websites do not display correctly in some browsers, leading us to believe that the website is malfunctioning. However, as soon as you visit the website in a different browser, it loads without any issues. Therefore, this behaviour explains why a website is compatible with many browsers.

Introduction to Selenium:

Selenium is most popular open-source automation testing tool. It allows testers to create automated tests in different programming languages to check the functionality of web applications because it offers compatibility with a variety of programming languages, including Java, JavaScript, Python, C#, and more. Various operating systems and browsers are compatible with Selenium.

On multiple browsers and operating systems, it may be used to test how well web applications work. The Selenium framework helps testers to provide test cycles more rapidly by automating repetitious test cases. Selenium integrates well with CI/CD pipelines and can help with a dependable, bug-free release deployment workflow.
 

A test case is described as a set of scenarios under which a tester decides whether or not an application is operating in accordance with the needs of the customer. Preconditions, case name, input requirements, and anticipated outcome are all included in test case design. An activity at the first level, test cases are derived from test scenarios.
It is a comprehensive document that includes all relevant inputs (both positive and negative) as well as the navigational steps required for the test execution procedure. Writing test cases is an one-time activity that can be utilised for regression testing in the future.

A non-functional testing technique called performance testing is used to evaluate the system's responsiveness and stability under various loads. Performance testing assesses the system's attributes, such as dependability, scalability, and resource usage. Performance testing focuses on how a system performs while handling a certain load. The purpose of this is not to find software vulnerabilities or defects. Different performance testing approaches take results measurements in relation to standards and benchmarks. Performance testing assists developers in locating bottlenecks and removing them.

What is Automation testing?

Automation test is an important approach that executes a test case suite using unique automated testing tools. A tester writes the testing scripts and runs it on a tool to execute the testcases. Manual testing, on the other hand, is carried out by a human sitting in front of a computer, carefully carrying out the test processes. Many software companies will have a QA (quality assurance) automation tester on staff. In the early phases, they develop and write the test scripts.

About the Regression Testing: -

Regression testing is a kind of software testing used to assess whether newly found issues are the consequence of code modifications. A code is tested before a change is implemented.

Manual testing is one of the most fundamental testing processes. An automated tool is not used during the manual testing process, which involves manually running test cases.
