Key Responsibilities
- Test Case Development: Develop comprehensive test cases for API testing, covering functional, non-functional, and edge cases, ensuring thorough test coverage.
- Test Automation: Implement automated tests for APIs using tools like Postman, Selenium, or tools such as Jenkins to improve testing efficiency and coverage.
- Regression Testing: Conduct regression testing to ensure that changes to APIs do not introduce new bugs or regressions, maintaining the overall quality of the APIs.
- Performance Testing: Conduct performance testing of APIs using AWS tools like AWS XRay, to evaluate API performance under different loads and conditions.
- Security Testing: Perform security testing of APIs to identify vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with security best practices and standards.
- API Gateway Testing: Test API gateway configurations and integrations to ensure proper routing, transformation, and security of API requests and responses.
- Error Handling Testing: Test error handling mechanisms of APIs to ensure they return appropriate error codes and messages in case of failures or invalid requests.
- Documentation: Document test plans, test cases, and test results, and collaborate with developers to ensure issues are properly documented and tracked.
- Collaboration: Collaborate with developers, DevOps engineers, and other stakeholders to resolve issues and improve the quality of APIs, following an Agile development process.
- Continuous Improvement: Stay updated with the latest trends, tools, and technologies related to API testing and quality assurance, and continuously improve testing processes and methodologies.
- Communication: Communicate effectively with team members and stakeholders, providing clear and concise feedback on the quality of APIs and any issues found during testing.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
- API Testing: 5+ years of experience and proficiency in testing APIs using tools like Postman, SoapUI, or Selenium, with a focus on functional, non-functional, and security testing, and a strong understanding of API technologies and standards.
