Postman Masterclass and REST API Testing

🧩 Postman Masterclass and REST API Testing 🧩

Introduction In the fast-paced world of software development, REST APIs stand as the cornerstone for data exchange between servers and client devices - from mobiles and laptops to the ever-growing landscape of IoT (Internet of Things) devices. Mastery of REST APIs is essential for any modern software engineer. Postman is an indispensable tool in this domain, offering a suite of features that extend far beyond simple API requests. As a versatile platform, Postman can facilitate testing, create mock servers, and act as a proxy server, making it an invaluable asset for developers, front-end to back-end, and quality assurance teams alike.

What's Covered? This course dives deep into the capabilities of Postman, with a focus on practical developer insights. We begin by demystifying the basics of REST APIs, exploring their development and design using OpenAPI specifications. As a full-stack developer, I'll share the common challenges faced in front-end development, such as mocking APIs, and the issues encountered on the back-end, including REST API version management. We'll delve into the critical aspects of API testing, examining various scenarios that are pivotal for a robust backend performance.

To illustrate these concepts in action, I've created a dummy backend application in NodeJS. This will serve as our practical playground to simulate real-world API interactions and solutions. Even if you're not familiar with NodeJS, fear not - I've provided step-by-step guidance on how to set up your environment for success.

I hope this course is as enlightening for you as it has been for me in crafting it. Enjoy the learning journey!
