API Testing & Automation Training with Postman, Newman, GitHub & Jenkins – REST, SOAP & CI/CD– Live Training
(Master API Testing from Basics to Advanced with Hands-on Automation, AI (Postbot), CI/CD Integration & Real-Time Projects)
Master API Testing & Automation with this comprehensive, hands-on training designed to take you from beginner to advanced level. This course provides a deep understanding of how modern applications communicate using APIs and how to test them effectively using industry-standard tools.
You will start with the fundamentals of API basics, HTTP/HTTPS protocols, client-server architecture, and 3-tier application design, building a strong foundation in backend testing concepts. As you progress, you will explore different types of APIs including REST, SOAP, GraphQL, and understand their real-world use cases in enterprise applications.
The course is highly practical and focuses on real-time implementation using tools like Postman, Swagger, Newman, GitHub, and Jenkins. You will learn how to design API test plans, create reusable test cases, and perform various types of testing such as functional, regression, performance, and end-to-end API testing.
A key highlight of this course is API Automation using Postman, where you will write JavaScript-based assertions, implement data-driven testing using CSV and JSON, and execute tests using the Newman CLI for non-GUI automation. You will also gain hands-on experience in integrating API tests with CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and version control using GitHub.
Additionally, you will explore modern advancements like Postman AI (Postbot) to generate automation scripts using prompt engineering, making your testing process faster and more efficient.
By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently test APIs, automate workflows, debug issues, and work on real-world projects, making you job-ready for roles like API Tester, QA Engineer, and Automation Test Engineer.
