LIL - API Testing Foundations (Additional API Testing Considerations (Test…

- - - - Designing RESTful APIs
    - - State not affected by your actions.
        E.g. : GET does not change the state of your object.
  - - - Representation State Transfer
      - API that consistantly applies the actions GET/PUT/POST/DELETE to resources, called nouns (usually URL w some parameters)
    - - Simple Object Access Protocol
      - Follow strict rules
        
        WSDL - Web Services Description Language
        
        SOAP message and response format are predefined
    - - bridges the gap between REST & SOAP (?)
    - - (?)
  - - - Versioning
      - Schema
      - Server calculation
      - Data format
    - - Network issues
      - Permissions
    - - Out of order calls
      - Slow calls
        
        Time out?
      - Concurrent changes
    - - Programmatic access
- - - - Verifying who you are
  - - - Verifying what you can do
  - - - Application
      - Auth server
        
        Based on username-password combination, it gives back a token to the application
      - Web service
        
        Receives the token when API call happens
- - - - To isolate the server
        
        e.g. pas faire full POST call inutiles
      - Because server is not available
        
        Parfois le server n'est pas là pour la période de testing
  - - - Data driven
      - Workflow driven
