# API Testing

Skill · Software Development and Engineering Practices

Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/api-testing

API testing is the practice of verifying that an application programming interface meets expectations for functionality, reliability, performance, and security by sending requests and validating the responses. QA engineers and developers use tools like Postman, SoapUI, and automated test frameworks to check things like status codes, payload structure, and edge-case handling. It's typically done independently of the UI, allowing issues in the underlying logic to be caught earlier in development.
