API Testing (Tools and Services) Market: Emerging Trends Boosts the Global Industry Growth


Application programming interface (API) is a set of tools, protocols, and subroutines that is used to build applications and software. API can also be defined as a code that allows communication between software programs. API testing involves testing application programming interfaces (APIs) directly, and as part of integration testing, in order to determine if they meet expectations for functionality, reliability, performance, and security. The purpose of API testing is to enable an organization to monitor the lifecycle of the interface, and ensure that the requirements of the applications and developers are satisfied beforehand. API testing tools control and automate connections between an application and the API, while ensuring consistency between different API versions and implementations. Such tools employ security procedures and policies to authorize, authenticate, and manage access to API data. API testing is critical for any organization’s API approach as they have strategic importance. API testing software can be developed in-house by organizations or can be purchased through third-party providers.



Currently, businesses are increasingly becoming software-powered, customer-centric, and depend on connectivity. Connectivity thrives on APIs, and an increasing number of organizations are employing API solutions. Mobile applications developed for customer engagement require APIs to link transactions and enterprise data, which in turn is driving the API testing market.
