This course offers a deep dive into two essential aspects of modern software testing: API testing and mobile app testing. The course is structured to provide a thorough understanding of API concepts, practical skills in using Postman for API testing and automation, and hands-on experience with Appium for mobile app testing across both Android and iOS platforms.

The course begins with an introduction to API testing, covering fundamental concepts such as API types, HTTP methods, and request/response structures. It then progresses to hands-on training with Postman, teaching students how to create, send, and validate API requests, write test assertions, and automate API tests. The mobile testing portion introduces Appium, guiding learners through setup, Android and iOS app testing, advanced concepts like the Page Object Model, and framework development for test automation.This course equips testers and developers with the skills needed to effectively test both APIs and mobile apps, enhancing their ability to contribute to robust software development processes and maintain high standards of software quality.
