I would like to begin this article with real statistics from google trends. If you see the below graph you will understand, how the trend of API testing increase with last few years. This shows the importance of API testing nowadays. This doesn't mean we should do API testing for each and every software application, It's depends on the software development architecture. To understand the importance of API testing and where it is applicable, we should have a basic idea of software architectures. In this article, I'm going to discuss two main architectures in very high level and considering microservice as an API. Monolithic Architecture. Microservice Architecture Monolithic Architecture Monolithic Architecture describes, a software application in which the user interface (presentation), functional process logic (business rules), and data access are combined into a single program from a single platform. - wikipedia. In simple words, in monolithic arc...

We all know that “testing” is quite an interesting and innovating concept in the world of Software Engineering. Earlier, the developer used to code and test. Gradually with increasing number of software, there was a need of  QUALITY ENGINEERS . Why? Because testing is not only about making sure that code works as expected, it is much more than that. Requirements testing, Integration testing, Functional testing, Regression testing, Performance testing, Accessibility testing, Security testing and the list goes on, there are so many aspects to keep in mind while testing particular software. In this article, We are going to focus on top reasons  why you are not a   professional quality engineer  and what should be improved in order to become one. Thinking that testing is all about creating and running test cases:  this is the biggest myth which needs to be busted. We all have studied in theory that testing starts as early as requirement ph...
