Effective API Testing
by Dmitry Dygalo
Many modern Web applications use API schemas to describe their contracts. But, the presence of a schema doesn't mean that the real application works as defined in the schema. There are many reasons for that - from the fundamental inability to describe the application with the chosen schema spec to the ubiquitous human factor. There are many consequences from this problem, and the application crash is the least dangerous of them.
I will talk about Web API testing and will introduce Schemathesis - a tool that helps to solve many of these problems with property-based testing. We'll take a look at stateful testing - an approach that allows you to generate whole sequences of API calls automatically.
You'll learn how to make your API schemas more reliable and test them effectively with minimal effort.
