Delivering quality across an entire application is the number one goal of all modern testing teams – but speed is their number one challenge. Development teams move too fast to rely on traditional testing techniques, sometimes limiting QA cycles to only a few days or even hours.

The real answer is to ensure that testing happens at the rapid pace teams require is to test at multiple layers of the application – both at the UI, API, and Data layers.

Join our webinar to learn how extensively testing both the UI and API layer of your application can help ensure that bugs are caught earlier in the software delivery lifecycle, faster than ever. You’ll leave knowing:

  • Challenges of Testing Modern Software
  • The Benefits of Test Automation
  • Combining API & UI Testing
  • Best Practices of UI & API Testing

The main challenge of manual API testing is its lack of scalability, as it relies on labor-intensive, human effort that becomes increasingly slow and prone to error as the number of endpoints and required regression cycles grow. The solution? Automation. For automated API testing to work efficiently, API tests must be automation-ready by design, with
