==API testing overview==
API testing involves testing APIs directly (in isolation) and as part of the end-to-end transactions exercised during integration testing.<ref name="reichart1"/> Beyond [[Representational state transfer|RESTful APIs]], these transactions include multiple types of endpoints such as [[web services]], [[Enterprise service bus|ESBs]], [[database]]s, [[Mainframe computer|mainframes]], [[Web application|web UIs]], and [[Enterprise resource planning|ERPs]]. [https://www.hypertest.co/api-testing/top-10-api-testing-tools API testing] is performed on APIs that the development team produces as well as APIs that the team consumes within their application (including third-party APIs).<ref name="reichart2">[http://searchsoftwarequality.techtarget.com/tip/Onus-for-third-party-APIs-is-on-enterprise-developers Onus for third-party APIs is on enterprise developers] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190731082123/http://searchsoftwarequality.techtarget.com/tip/Onus-for-third-party-APIs-is-on-enterprise-developers |date=2019-07-31 }}, by Amy Reichert, SearchSoftwareQuality July 2014</ref>
API testing is used to determine whether APIs return the correct response (in the expected format) for a broad range of feasible requests, react properly to [[edge cases]] such as failures and unexpected/extreme inputs, deliver responses in an [[Service-level agreement|acceptable amount of time]], and respond securely to potential [[Cyberwarfare|security attacks]].<ref name="reichart1"/><ref name="layers"/> [[Service virtualization]] is used in conjunction with API testing to isolate the services under test as well as expand test environment access by simulating APIs/services that are not accessible for testing.<ref name="accelerate">[http://www.gartner.com/document/2642716 Accelerate Development with Automated Testing]{{dead link|date=December 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}, by Nathan Wilson, [[Gartner]] December 30, 2013</ref>
