Some mornings, the test report feels like a puzzle you didn’t sign up for- dozens of UI failures, none pointing to the real issue. Maybe a selector broke, maybe a component was slow. Meanwhile, a few API tests could’ve surfaced the real problem early, clearly, and without the usual noise.

This happens because today’s SaaS systems rely on APIs more than ever- internal, external, partner integrations, you name it. And issues tend to surface at the API layer long before the UI reacts. OWASP’s API Security Top 10 highlights this too, calling APIs one of the most “high-impact failure points” in modern architectures because of their central role in app behavior.

This guide breaks down API automation testing in a simple, practical way so your team can build stability without drowning in complexity.

💡 “Good APIs are invisible, but bad ones are unforgettable.”

In today’s software-driven world, over 90% of developers rely on APIs to integrate applications and services seamlessly. According to MarketsandMarkets, the global API testing market is expected to grow from $1.2 billion in 2020 to $4.1 billion by 2027, which is going to be driven by cloud adoption and microservices.

API or Application programming interface is a set of rules that enables software programs or modules to communicate with each other. API testing is a type of software testing involving the testing of such rules. These rules serve as integration points between different modules within an application and also with 3rd party applications. In order to ensure the application functions seamlessly it is important to test the functionality, reliability, performance and security of the APIs.
