1. "5 Myths about API testing: There's more than meets the UI"

2. APIs Everywhere and Here to Stay
A few years ago, we entered the era of mobile computing
But that came with some challenges:
Many devices, many networks and many connections.
Apps connect devices to vast amounts of servers and data through complex APIs.
How do you ensure that the APIs work as planned?
API failure means your apps fail, and your quality and reputation take a direct hit that flows to your bottom line
API Testing reduces the business risk of faulty APIs

3. Every App Has its API…to Test
Enterprise apps rely on a myriad of internal, external and public APIs
Testing APIs must include different networks, end-points and interfaces
Test Scenarios
Then
Now
The fact that an API is published does not decrease the test scenarios required; it increases test scenarios in all dimensions

4. Myth #1 about Testing APIs
If it’s a published API, it’s been tested and guaranteed. No further testing required.
Just because an API is “published” does not mean that the API has been tested with anything, particularly your custom applications
Public APIs, even the few with SLAs, are the responsibility of third parties – you may trust them, but you must verify them, with API Testing
MIND THE GAP
You cannot afford to overlook the gaps in testing APIs with your applications
