API testing services
Verify that APIs function correctly, are reliable, secure, and perform well under various conditions.
Ensure the building blocks of your software are stable and functional
Users expect applications to be reliable. Issues at the API layer can lead to user-facing errors, slow performance, and poor functionality - damaging user trust and impacting business outcomes.
API testing services verify business flows without relying on the user interface (UI). It enables earlier detection of functional and code-based issues to ensure smooth integration between services and provide a reliable back-end for both mobile and web applications.
Every great partnership starts with a conversation, get in touch.
'The testers at Zoonou have consistently provided clear bug reports that are easy for our dev team to work with. They’ve found numerous bugs that are triggered through non-obvious edge cases which would have impacted our end users if they had escaped our processes.'

Our API testing services
Our API testing service is designed to assess the functionality, performance, and security of APIs, without using a user interface (UI). It tests the API endpoints at the business logic service layer.
We can test SOAP, REST, XML ,and JSON APIs, either as a standalone delivery, or automated for potential integration with a CI/CD framework. We use popular and open-source tools to test, such as Postman and SoapUI, with results sent directly to the product team.
Our API testing services include:
Functional testing: we'll validate that each API endpoint works as intended, ensuring correct responses for various inputs, including valid, invalid, and edge cases. We focus on verifying API functionality, response codes, data accuracy, and error handling against expected behaviour.
Load and performance testing: our performance testing service evaluates the API speed, scalability, and stability under different load conditions, ensuring it can handle expected and peak traffic efficiently. It measures response times, throughput, and resource usage to identify bottlenecks and assess overall performance under stress.
Penetration testing: we test APIs to identify vulnerabilities, such as improper authentication, data exposure, and security misconfigurations. We aim to uncover weaknesses that could be exploited to gain unauthorised access, manipulate data, or disrupt services.
Test automation: carrying out standalone API testing can be valuable to support the launch and release of a new project; for any ongoing product support, automating API testing increases efficiency, saves time and money. Automated API tests can be combined with a wider framework for cloud application test automation and
can be set up to integrate with a CI/CD strategy. Unlike automated UI tests, API automation can be cheaper and quicker to update and maintain.
