  • Will I need to write an exam?

    Open or Close

    Practical exercises are a big part of this course, both during the sessions as well as take-home exercises in between sessions. At the end of the course, you will be required to complete a capstone assignment which assesses your grasp of everything that has been covered in the sessions. No theory questions will be asked.


  • Will we have FUN in this course?

    Open or Close

    Yes, indeed this is the intention. Our trainers are not only excellent practitioners in their field, they also have extensive experience in transferring their experience and knowledge to others in a pleasant and comfortable manner. They also enjoy sharing many amusing and illuminating anecdotes from their careers to-date.


  • What tools and languages will we use in the course?

    Open or Close

    The course covers both low-code API testing tools (Postman) as well as API testing libraries in code. Depending on the language used in the course, this can be REST Assured (Java), RestSharp (C#), requests (Python), or another library if that better fits the learning requirements. You will also be using API mocking libraries such as WireMock (for Java) or responses (for Python) and consumer-driven contract testing tools (Pact) extensively in this course.
