Here’s something to know about me. I love breakfast food. With a capital “L.” And I have for my whole life. So it’s kind of surprising that I only recently added a crepe pan to my collection of kitchen tools. This crepe pan is great. It’s non-stick, but made from all-natural materials, and it’s the perfect size. I could even use it to cook bacon. Or scramble eggs. But I won't.

With APIs taking over, more people are asking: What can I use to create my API? Although there are many different API standards and types, we will primarily focus on REST APIs. An API can be as simple as a single endpoint with one purpose, or it can be much more complex, like the AWS APIs with 1000s of endpoints and 100s of thousands of users. What all of these APIs have in common is that they have to be developed. We like to classify the development of APIs in 3 phases: Design, Build and Host.
Automated software testing tools are used to automate interactions with software so tests can be run without a human having to perform each action. This lets one person run multiple tests at once and eliminates most of the human error associated with manual testing. Although there are many types of software testing, functional testing is the most common and the one most teams start with. That’s why we’ll be focusing on functional testing in this article.
A common task for any IT department, or individual developer, is to move data from one location to another. A simple task to do once, but if this must be done many times for many different files (each with its own metadata, file type and data structure), it is a task that can become tedious. Luckily there are many low-code tools that can make this task much more manageable. As an example, Linx allows us to import a file and make the data available elsewhere quickly.
From prowling forums and boot camps, watching testing tools tutorials to choosing a programming language is all too familiar to test automation engineers. Automated testing or test automation has grown by leaps and bounds. The demand for test automation engineers is unsurprisingly high across industries, increasing the difficulty of staying competitive. Whether you’re a manual tester looking to grow or just interested in the automation tester career path, this comprehensive guide is for you.
