Similarly, an API need to be tested completely, but has dependency on an interface / another API (which is not implemented yet, so not readily available). Test Automation of these individual entities (such as mentioned above) in CI-CD pipe line needs deep technical understanding. Hands on experience on test automation of APIs programmatically using libraries like HttpClient (Current practice) or using tools like SOAPUI (used in past) based on development strategy Hands on experience on various test automation formats ranging from recent TDD & BDD format + Specflow/Cucumber + Protracor + .net framework / .net core, and in the past on various automation frameworks for UI like testNG + Selenium WebDriver + page object model+ Java, modular based / Keyword driven / data driven frameworks on VBScript (Mercury-QTP) In the initial years (first 4 years) of career, worked as J2EE developer.
