In today’s fast-paced lifestyle where speed plays as important role as that of the quality, agile development has become a widely accepted approach that helps in delivering the business value by saving a considerable amount of time.

Integrating testing efforts with the development plays a crucial role in this type of development methodology as it helps in achieving the right mixture of speed and quality.

API Testing is the very first and one of the most important steps of software testing, which is required to be planned and initiated right at the start of the testing phase. This phase of testing helps uncover functional defects in the coding, which may not get trapped when manual or automated tests are performed. The coding flaws, which initially may seem very minor, can create major issues, if not dealt with during the initial phases. Moreover, such flaws, if get propagated to the new builds, can hamper the performance of the new releases as well.
