Why Use Swagger?

Swagger is a powerful tool in API development for several reasons: Interactive Documentation: It automatically generates clear, interactive API documentation, reducing manual effort and ensuring users can easily explore and test the API. Design-First Approach: Developers can define the API structure before coding, promoting better planning and collaboration. Code Generation: It speeds up development by… Continue reading Why Use Swagger?

Swagger-OpenAPI Specification (OAS)

Swagger, now officially known as the OpenAPI Specification (OAS), is a widely-used, open-source framework for designing, building, documenting, and testing RESTful APIs. It provides a standardized way to describe APIs, making it easier for developers, testers, and consumers to understand and interact with them. The core of Swagger is the OpenAPI Specification, a machine-readable format… Continue reading Swagger-OpenAPI Specification (OAS)

Fuzz Testing

Fuzz testing, or fuzzing, is an automated security testing technique that involves sending random, unexpected, malformed, or invalid inputs to a system to identify vulnerabilities, crashes, or unexpected behavior. It is commonly used for security testing of applications, APIs, and systems. Key Objectives of Fuzz Testing: Detect buffer overflows, crashes, memory leaks Identify SQL injection,… Continue reading Fuzz Testing

API Testing vs UI Testing

When testing software, both API testing and UI testing play critical roles in ensuring a system works as expected. While UI testing focuses on the user interface, API testing ensures that the backend logic and data processing function correctly. Ignoring either one can lead to missed bugs, poor performance, or an inconsistent user experience. Let’s… Continue reading API Testing vs UI Testing
