Exploring the Universe of API Testing with TypeScript🌌✨
Hey there, devs! Let's dive into 9 essential tests to ensure your TypeScript APIs are ready for any mission! 🚀
Smoke Testing 🌬️💨: Like knocking on the door to see if the API responds. It tests the most critical functions, ensuring the application is ready for more detailed tests.
Functional Testing 🛠️🔍: Assesses whether each API function behaves as expected, ensuring accuracy in operations and responses.
Integration Testing 🤝💡: Checks the harmony between different modules or services. Ensures the combination of components works flawlessly.
Regression Testing 🔄🔙: Ensures that new updates have not affected existing functionalities. Essential after each code change.
Load Testing 🏋️♂️📈: Simulates high demands to check how the API handles large volumes of requests, crucial for growing applications.
Stress Testing 😰📊: Pushes the API to its limits to identify the breaking point. Assesses stability under extreme conditions.
Security Testing 🔒🚨: Searches for vulnerabilities that could compromise security. Protects against attacks and data exposure.
UI Testing 🖥️👀: Focuses on the interactions that the API has with the user interface, ensuring a smooth and error-free user experience.
Fuzz Testing 🐵🔧: Tests the API's robustness by sending random, malformed, or unexpected data, looking for unsafe behaviors or failures.
Tools:
Smoke/Functional: Jest, Mocha, Supertest, Chai.
Integration/Regression: Sinon, nock, Cypress, TestCafe.
Load/Stress: Artillery, k6, JMeter.
Security: OWASP ZAP, Snyk.
UI/Fuzz: Cypress, Puppeteer, Jsfuzz, Fuzzilli.
