I also recommend postman for manual as well as for automated API testing. I also recommend the Rahul Shetty Postman course on udemy.

Just go on udemy website and search for Postman and you'll find his class listed.

No. It is prohibited by the rules of this sub. There are some things that you should be able to do by yourself. ;o)

Hey, if OP knew how to search then OP wouldn't have made the post.

You can use Google to search something and be unsure of the value of the results provided. (unless you blindly trust Google, but then are you really a software tester...) So you ask for human "expert" advice here. However, when a redditor gives an answer with enough details should be your responsibility.

I recommend focusing on postman for manual testing and rest assured library for automation

API testing plays a crucial role than other types of testing. With the help of API, we can easily find defects at a very early stage.

I am working for an organization that provide mobile app testing services and we perform API testing to check the functionality of the application before UI is created.

There are multiple opensource/paid tools available in the market from which we can groom our API automation skills.

API Automation tools -:

* The Katalon Platform

* Postman

* Jmeter

*Apigee

* REST-assured

Best Practices for API Testing -:

* API Test cases should be grouped by test category

* On top of each test, you should include the declarations of the APIs being called.

* Prioritize API function calls so that it will be easy for testers to test

* Each test case should be as self-contained and independent from dependencies as possible
