Simply put, API testing is like directly testing the "internal nervous system" of software, which is much more efficient than waiting for the entire interface to be developed before testing! π

Contract testing is a technique that ensures an API meets its predefined "contract" - basically checking that the API provides exactly what it promises in terms of inputs, outputs, and behavior. It's crucial because it helps maintain compatibility between different services and prevents changes in one service from breaking integrations with others. Think of it like a formal agreement between the API provider and consumer to keep things running smoothly. π
Great idea to do a whole article of FAQs instead of just a supportive section. Definitely gotta give a try. π
Some really good ones in this list. I heard API testing has many advantages over UI testing.π€·ββοΈ
