API Testing validates core business logic (e.g., `POST` for user creation) by executing requests, asserting HTTP status codes (like `200` or `404`), and confirming data integrity.

API Testing is a critical process: it verifies the application's business logic directly, bypassing the UI to ensure functionality, security, and performance. We execute specific test types: functional testing confirms a `GET /users/123` request returns the correct JSON schema, while load testing (e.g., simulating 1,000 requests/second) measures latency and throughput. This 'shift-left' approach catches critical integration bugs early, long before a customer hits a front-end error. Tools like Postman or SoapUI are essential for automating these checks within CI/CD pipelines, protecting application reliability and saving significant development time.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Post-Postman: Creative End-to-End API Testing with Generative AI](https://amsterdam.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_lBLnWhgMApA)

How can we use GenAI to help developers build and debug API's faster. In this lightning talk we will show what we've been prototyping at Fiberplane; an HTTP debugging tool using GenAI for payload suggestions and code prompts, friendly and hostile personas, and third party webhooks in order to squash bugs way earlier in the development cycle. Your code reviewer will wonder what shadow team you’ve secretly hired.

### [Post-Postman: Creative End-to-End API Testing with Generative AI](https://sf.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_Ii4KZVOxftI)

Traditional API testing clients treat your service like a blackbox. They are unaware of the code running on each request, and unless you give them a spec, they're unaware of the inputs each route should expect. What does it look like when you use generative AI to bring this intelligence into an API testing client? Well, aside from helping with common toil of manually writing request parameters, I also see a path to more creative debugging and end-to-end testing workflows.
