    Manual Testing of REST APIs with Insomnia

    • Testing is important for software development to ensure projects work as intended.
    • Two main ways of testing REST APIs are automated tests and manual, exploratory testing.
    • Manual testing is usually done first, followed by creating automated tests based on manual tests.
    • Insomnia and Postman are two tools that can be used for exploratory testing of REST APIs.
    • Insomnia is recommended for beginners, as it is free and easy to use.
    • To start using Insomnia, download and create a project called "REST APIs with Flask and Python".
    • Then, create a new Request Collection called "Stores REST API".
    • Each request in a collection has a method, URL, body, and headers.
    • The method is a piece of data sent to the server, and the URL is formed of the base URL and endpoint.
    • The body contains data sent in the request, and the headers provide additional information to the server.
    • To make a request using Insomnia, select the method and enter the request name and URL in the interface.
    • Ensure the Flask app is running, hit "Send", and if the JSON response is received, the API request is successful.
