In today’s digital world, test engineers must have effective and efficient strategies and skills to test software in fast-paced agile environments. The Postman tool for API testing is a well-known tool to build, test, and publish APIs, as it allows you to execute ad hoc testing and fully automated test suites. WebdriverIO is a modern JavaScript testing framework for browser and mobile automated testing. 

You will begin with the basics of old and new approaches to building and testing software. Then, you will learn about test planning and design strategies that help a test engineer to select the best approaches to executing test cases for any application. Next, you’ll cover how to test an application using Postman from the end user’s perspective. You’ll finish the course by testing a work order manager with Postman and WebdriverIO.

By the end of this course, you’ll gain essential skills to succeed and advance in a career in test engineering or other roles applying testing activities.

# Understanding modern testing problems
Despite investing in automated testing, companies are finding no significant improvements in quality and productivity. In previous years, the testing strategy for companies primarily consisted of manual, human-executed strategies to test through the UI. Then, teams started adding computer-executed tools to automate the UI for efficiency. Selenium is an example of such a tool. However, some teams are over-relying on high-level manual and automated browser-based UI testing. The testing strategy for these teams is illustrated below:


The image above shows a UI-centric test strategy that resembles an ice cream cone. At the same time, other teams write lower-level automated unit tests that run faster and provide quicker feedback. However, those tests are duplicated at the UI level, providing no extra value. The testing strategy for these teams is illustrated below:
