API Testing 3 ways: Postman, Playwright, and Jest Compared

API Testing 3 ways: Postman, Playwright, and Jest Compared

You limit your career potential if you only know how to write end-to-end tests via the UI. Automating API Testing backend services allows you to ship changes confidently.  Several popular tools will enable you to do this, but which one should you use, and what are their pros and cons?

In this episode, I want to share a private monthly guild session we had for automation guild 2024 members. If you don’t know, when you buy a ticket to our online automation guild (the next one is Feb 10-14), you also get nine monthly sessions after the event is over each month to keep the learning and community going after the official event is over.

In this session, Stephen Kilbourn, a longtime guild member and speaker who brings a wealth of experience in automation testing, will share his top three API testing tools: Postman, Playwright, and Jest, and dive into the pros and cons of each one.
