Join Anton as he guides you through creating and integrating API core components into your test automation framework. Catch these valuable insights now!

Apply RESTful API design principles by ensuring key components follow standards like statelessness, resource identification, and appropriate use of HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE). This approach not only improves the scalability and maintainability of your API but also makes it much easier to integrate with test automation frameworks.

Implement API Versioning: Introduce versioning in your API to manage changes and ensure backward compatibility. This can be done through URL versioning (e.g., /api/v1/resource) or by using headers. Versioning allows you to update or deprecate features without disrupting existing clients, facilitating smoother test automation integration.

Develop a comprehensive error-handling strategy for your API components. Use standardized error responses, such as HTTP status codes and descriptive error messages, to convey issues effectively. This helps automation testers identify and troubleshoot failures more efficiently, leading to more reliable test automation outcomes
