SOHere is a roadmap to learn API testing.
Step 1: Understand API Basics
→ What is an API, how client-server communication works.
Step 2: Learn REST & HTTP Methods
→ GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, and when to use each.
Step 3: Explore Common Status Codes
→ 200 (OK), 201 (Created), 400 (Bad Request), 401 (Unauthorized), 404 (Not Found).
Step 4: Install & Practice with Postman
→ Create collections, send requests, inspect responses.
Step 5: Learn Authentication
→ Practice using API keys, Bearer Tokens, and Basic Auth.
Step 6: Write Basic API Test Cases
→ Document test inputs, expected outputs, and validations.
Step 7: Write Automated API Tests (Optional)
→ Learn scripting or frameworks like Rest Assured or Postman Tests.
Step 8: Learn Assertions & Validations
→ Verify response codes, body data, headers.
