About: API testing

An Entity of Type: software, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

API testing is a type of software testing that involves testing application programming interfaces (APIs) directly and as part of integration testing to determine if they meet expectations for functionality, reliability, performance, and security. Since APIs lack a GUI, API testing is performed at the message layer. API testing is now considered critical for automating testing because APIs now serve as the primary interface to application logic and because GUI tests are difficult to maintain with the short release cycles and frequent changes commonly used with Agile software development and DevOps.

  • 接口测试是软件测试的一种，它包括两种测试类型：狭义上指的是直接针对应用程序接口（下面使用缩写API指代，其中文简称为接口）的功能进行的测试；广义上指集成测试中，通过调用API测试整体的功能完成度、可靠性、安全性与性能等指标。 API的调用没有用户图形界面（下称GUI）操作，是一种发生在信息层的测试， 在由于敏捷开发广泛应用而使得GUI经常有变化的当下，利用GUI执行大批量自动化测试几乎不可能，因而针对相对稳定不变的API进行的测试有着极高的重要性，将其自动化也是一个很重要的工作。 (zh)
