دانلود کتاب تست و توسعه API با Postman

Welcome! I think quality is an underrated characteristic of modern software. In some ways, we have made huge strides as an industry. The average modern web app probably has far fewer bugs than the average software application from 30 years ago. However, as the world of software becomes more and more complex, there are whole new areas that require a quality-first approach as regards design and development. I believe that APIs need this. APIs are becoming the backbone of the internet. They serve external clients for my companies and are increasingly becoming the glue that holds the different internal pieces of modern software systems together. On the surface, this book is primarily about using the API testing tool Postman, and you will certainly have an in-depth knowledge of it by the end of the book. However, while explaining how to use Postman, I have also sought to provide principles that apply no matter what tool is used. I want you to have more than just the ability to manipulate the tool to do what you want it to. I also want you to be able to know when and how to use the tool so that you can be part of creating high-quality APIs. The first person I write for is myself. A lot of the stuff I talk about in this book is stuff I was learning myself a few years ago. API testing is a huge topic, and it can be intimidating to get started with, so I wrote this book primarily for those software testers who find themselves needing to test an API and not really knowing where to start. Throughout the book, I try not to assume too much in-depth programming knowledge, although an understanding of some of the most basic aspects of programming will certainly help with some sections of this book. If you are working as a software tester and you are interested in expanding your skills into the API testing realm, this book is certainly for you. If you are a developer who is looking to enhance their skills in terms of understanding quality and testing, congratulations, you are setting yourself up for a successful career! You may be able to skim through some parts of this book, but you will certainly find a lot of helpful advice in here on how to design and write a test in a way that leads to good-quality APIs.
