A Cypress API testing tutorial: cy.request() basics, chaining requests with aliases, custom commands for auth, parametrized tests, and running the suite in CI/CD — with working JavaScript for every example.
REST Assured vs Karate compared on language, learning curve, parallelism, mocking, reporting and CI — with the same test written in both.
A k6 quick-start for API load testing: virtual users, check() and thresholds, staged ramp-up, POST requests, and running k6 in CI/CD with a non-zero exit code on threshold breach — with working scripts.
A JMeter tutorial for API load testing: building a Test Plan with Thread Groups and HTTP Samplers, JSON Assertions, CSV-driven parametrization, and running it headless in CI/CD — with the exact commands and settings.
