  1. What is the difference between API testing and unit testing?

  2. What is Unit testing? In this testing method, the smallest piece of code known as ‘unit’ is tested. A unit can be a method, subroutine, function, procedure, object etc. Each unit of the software code is validated in order to make sure whether it is performing as expected. Unit testing is performed by developers during the development phase. Unit testing is the first phase of testing in the software testing life cycle. It falls under the whitebox testing technique. The errors in the code are found earlier through unit testing. This testing method makes sure that there is a proper working of units. It ensures that the code is maintainable.

  3. What is API testing? In the software development domain, Application Programming Interface (API) is considered to be the middle layer between Presentation (UI) layer and the database layer. Communication is enabled by APIs and data exchange takes place from one software system to another. API testing is a testing method through which the APIs are tested directly from their security, performance, reliability and functionality aspects. The logic of the build architecture is effectively validated through this testing method. API testing is performed at the business layer, where business logic processing is performed and all the transactions between the database layer and UI layer takes place. Software is used to send calls to the API, get output and ensure that the system’s response is noted down.

  4. Conclusion If you are looking forward to implementing API testing or unit testing or both for your specific software development project, then do get connected with a top-notch software testing services company that will provide you with a feasible and workable testing strategy in line with your project specific requirements.
