课程名称：API：面向初学者的 RESTful API 测试 - Postman **课程概述:** 在当今软件快速迭代的时代，微服务架构和API（应用程序编程接口）已成为保障用户随时可用性的关键。大多数微服务依赖API通过HTTP协议中的REST（Representational State Transfer）请求来交换数据。然而，许多软件测试人员仍习惯于使用基于用户界面（UI）的测试自动化，这很大程度上源于Selenium等工具的普及。 尽管UI测试对于验证页面元素和交互至关重要，但API测试在速度和可靠性上远超UI测试。特别是在数据库记录的增删改查等操作上，API测试能显著提升效率，避免UI自动化测试的耗时和重复。 更重要的是，API测试能帮助测试人员在开发早期，甚至在UI开发完成之前就发现潜在的bug。它还允许测试人员执行UI无法模拟的操作，这对于揭示应用程序的安全漏洞至关重要。 本课程将深入探讨API测试的基础知识，包括REST请求的工作原理，以及如何设置请求（Request）和断言（Assertion）。通过学习，您将掌握一种更快速、更可靠的测试方法，为开发团队提供及时的反馈，从而在快速变化的软件开发环境中保持竞争力。
We live in a time when users expect software to be ready to use whenever they want it, and the microservices model ensures that an application will not be down for maintenance when a user wants to use it.Most microservices are using application programming interfaces (APIs), which are a set of commands for how a service can be used. And most APIs are using Representational State Transfer (REST) requests through Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to request and send data.In spite of this fact, many software testers continue to automate their testing with user interface (UI)-based tests that interact directly with the browser. This is largely due to the success of the Selenium suite of tools for test automation, which runs in a web browser.Selenium has been available for several years, and most software testers are familiar with its use. But the most familiar tool is not always the most appropriate tool to use in test automation.While some UI testing will always be needed to verify that elements appear on a page and can be interacted with, API tests are much faster and more reliable than UI-based tests. When testing things like adding and removing records from a database, automated UI tests can be time-consuming and repetitive. API tests allow for rapid record manipulation.Furthermore, API testing allows the tester to find bugs earlier in the development process, often before the UI has been created. And API testing allows the tester to make requests that might not be allowed through the UI, which is crucial for exposing potential security flaws in an application.Because changes in software happen at such a rapid pace today, it's important to have tests that provide fast feedback for developers and testers. API tests can fill this need. We'll describe the fundamentals of API testing, including how REST requests work and how to set up requests and assertions.
