What is API testing?

API testing is a type of software testing that focuses on testing application programming interfaces (APIs). APIs are the building blocks of modern software applications, allowing various software components to communicate with each other. API testing involves validating that the API functions correctly, returns the expected response for various inputs, and behaves as intended in different scenarios. This type of testing ensures that the API is reliable, secure, and performs well under different conditions. API testing is essential for ensuring the quality and functionality of APIs in today's interconnected software systems.
