Description

Focused on learning and understanding REST API design fundamentals, specifications, and best practices through structured study sessions. The goal is to strengthen API design knowledge to better support API testing, validation, and review during QA activities.

Scope:

  • REST API fundamentals and architectural principles
  • REST constraints and design concepts
  • OpenAPI Specification (OAS) overview and usage
  • REST API security considerations
  • API lifecycle and management concepts
  • API versioning, error handling, and partial responses
  • Caching strategies and response optimization

Learning Approach:

  • Studied REST API design concepts through Stack Learner workshops
  • Reviewed real-world API design examples and best practices
  • Explored API-first design approach and maturity models
  • Related design principles to existing API testing scenarios

Expected Outcome:
Improved understanding of REST API design, structure, and standards, enabling more effective API testing, better identification of design flaws, and stronger collaboration with backend teams during API reviews.
