RESTful API Testing - Overview

Testsigma supports Restful APIs Testing. RESTful APIs allow you to access resources using uniform methods and protocols. This makes it easier for you to create and maintain applications. You can also create a REST API standalone testing project. While creating web or mobile application test cases, you can also include RESTful APIs in the test steps.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have referred to:

1. Documentation on creating test cases.
2. Documentation on adding Rest API to a test steps.
