There are several benefits that such a framework will provide: Forces APIs to be documented consistently for both human and machine readability. Faster and more reliable than UI based automation such as Selenium. Can cover a great deal more scenarios that might be impossible to using UI Automation. As a Automation Test Engineer who specializes in REST API testing, I have seen and tried numerous strategies for API testing. In my experience, … [Read more...]
