Talk: API test automation without code

APIs are defining the future of technological innovations. Be it Robotic process automation or digital transformations, Metaverse or Crypto, Cloud computing or Open banking all technologies are driven by APIs.
However, testers are still catching up and often see API testing as an overhead. It is closely observed that Testing is the most flamboyant role and it warmly hugs professionals from various educational backgrounds. Test engineers have been quite comfortable handling UI testing, however, dealing with apis has led them to imposter syndrome.
According to one of my personal surveys conducted 7o out of 100 testers chose to do UI automation as compared to API testing. In this talk, I would help test engineers to adopt no-code testing solutions and confidently address API testing in their test routine.
