Testers need think of the big picture. Testing isn’t just about the details of what inputs to send and what outputs to expect. It is about checking for risks to the client or the business. API testing is no different. We need to check on the kinds of things that matter to the users. Often with APIs this is involves some kind of workflow where multiple endpoints are called, sometimes in succession. Workflow testing can take on some different form and is often more complex than endpoint testing. It is worth spending some time digging into it and so in this chapter we will look at how to approach this kind of testing.We will cover the following topics in this chapter:
- Different types of workflow tests
- How to build flows in Postman
- Advice on testing workflows
