API & Micro-services Testing and Test Automation

Lately, APIs and Micro-services became the backbone of programming. API testing is one of the most challenging parts of the whole chain of software testing. API testing involves by-passing a user interface and communicating directly with an application by making calls to its APIs.

In this course, you would understand API, micro-services, API testing as well as automation tools like postman, JMeter etc.

Industry now demands that QA/testers have good understanding of micro services as customers are moving to cloud. The role in demand now is SDET (Software Development Engineer in Test) who should be aware of micro-services and can automate them in quick time.

There are no pre-requisite for this course. We start from very basics of programming and make you learn core Java. We will also cover all aspects of API from basics to advance.

We will cover Git/GitHub along with Jenkins and introduction to Docker. All our trainers are having minimum 10 years of experience in test automation. Click here to register for a demo session and our team will be happy to help.

Every session we conduct is a combination of theory and hands-on

All sessions are recorded which participants can keep with them for life time
