Study Notes
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.
