The original title is "API Testing Strategies: A Practical Guide for Reliable APIs"

Short summary

API testing strategy ensures reliability by separating tests into functional checks (single endpoints), integration tests (service-to-service), and end-to-end workflows, using a pyramid approach with many fast unit tests at the base and few slow E2E tests at the top. Prioritize tests by business risk—not ease—targeting payment, auth, and user data endpoints. Automate fast commit-time checks and run slower load/security tests pre-release.

• •Test by business risk, not ease—prioritize checkout, payment, auth over health checks
• •Use testing pyramid: many fast unit/functional tests, some integration tests, few slow E2E tests
• •Automate commit-time checks; run broader and security suites nightly and pre-release
