The latest News and Information on APIs, Mobile, AI, Machine Learning, IoT, Open Source and more!
In this load test tutorial, you’ll learn how to use Postman for small-scale API testing. You’ll also learn about some shortcomings and challenges of the framework that can be solved by using a tool like Speedscale. Because HTTP services don’t have a graphical user interface, you’re forced to test web APIs by simulating requests from a known client so that you can control the traffic data.
The widespread adoption of mobile apps is driving workforce productivity from almost anywhere across nearly every industry. Workers are relying on mobile technologies more than ever to get their work done every day—from short-staffed nurses who need to update information on the go to field service technicians who need to complete tasks and access critical information in real time to desk workers who need visibility into communications and company resources from anywhere.
For the latest full-stack applications to work, a backend service is required. That is especially true when the frontend service depends on the backend service to render data. In many cases, it can be difficult to replicate the setup of the backend services so that you can test the application. This tutorial will show you how to mock HTTP requests from an API so that you can test endpoints without actually calling them in your tests.
Hybrid mobile applications allow you to incorporate web-based content into your mobile offerings. By embedding webviews inside your iOS or Android app, you can repurpose existing code to build key mobile functionality, such as authentication processing or ad rendering. While hybrid apps can help streamline your development process, they can also make monitoring your system more complex.
The majority of monitoring and management solutions used in enterprises provide their customers with APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and a CLI to facilitate DevOps type workflows. With IaC (Infrastructure as Code) becoming de facto and ubiquitous, decent APIs have long been a must have on product evaluation checklists; there are of course a few exceptions – namely products aimed only at SMB (Small and Medium Business), immature startups, or freeware.
