APIs are vital for businesses across all industries as they are no longer just limited to integrating applications or allowing two different applications to communicate and exchange data with each other. In a modern app architecture, they host the most critical components of the business, including complex rules and logic.
But considering the current scenario, all the tools and processes around API testing are mostly developer-oriented, driven by white-box testing and the automation is limited to just request-response automation.
ACCELQ has demonstrated its leadership in simplifying test automation as it automates API testing with a simplified end-to-end approach. Unlike other API testing tools, ACCELQ has the ability to design, automate, and execute through the API regression suite from a complete business perspective. With codeless API test automation, it can seamlessly integrate with UI testing.
API automation is not only about automating request-response verifications. It should bring the same level of maturity as a functional regression. ACCELQ brings the same level of maturity as functional black-box testing with full-blown regressions and integrated end-to-end validations across UIs and APIs.
It aims to remove the technical complexity from the test automation to make it easily accessible to the entire testing community without having to make any compromise in scalability and robustness. It helps businesses in not only implementing test automation that provides an immediate return on investment (ROI) but also to enable continuous delivery.
Here are some of the features of ACCELQ for API test automation:
