Exploring the Universe of API Testing with TypeScript๐ŸŒŒโœจ

Hey there, devs! Let's dive into 9 essential tests to ensure your TypeScript APIs are ready for any mission! ๐Ÿš€

Smoke Testing ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ: 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 ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ๐Ÿ”: Assesses whether each API function behaves as expected, ensuring accuracy in operations and responses.

Integration Testing ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’ก: Checks the harmony between different modules or services. Ensures the combination of components works flawlessly.

Regression Testing ๐Ÿ”„๐Ÿ”™: Ensures that new updates have not affected existing functionalities. Essential after each code change.

Load Testing ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ“ˆ: Simulates high demands to check how the API handles large volumes of requests, crucial for growing applications.

Stress Testing ๐Ÿ˜ฐ๐Ÿ“Š: Pushes the API to its limits to identify the breaking point. Assesses stability under extreme conditions.

Security Testing ๐Ÿ”’๐Ÿšจ: Searches for vulnerabilities that could compromise security. Protects against attacks and data exposure.

UI Testing ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘€: Focuses on the interactions that the API has with the user interface, ensuring a smooth and error-free user experience.

Fuzz Testing ๐Ÿต๐Ÿ”ง: 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.

Stay tuned for more tips and journeys through the development universe! So, which of these tests and tools will you explore today? ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿš€
