Question 1

What does an API testing service provider actually deliver?

Accepted Answer

An API testing service provider builds and executes a complete QA function for your APIs – covering strategy, test case design, execution, and defect reporting – without requiring an internal testing team. QA Madness covers functional, performance, security, usability, and automated API testing as a single coordinated engagement. You receive structured bug reports, test documentation, and direct engineer access throughout.

Question 2

What is the difference between manual and automated API testing?

Accepted Answer

Manual API testing involves engineers sending requests to endpoints directly – using Postman or REST Client – to validate behavior and explore edge cases requiring human judgment. Automated API testing uses scripted frameworks (RestAssured, Karate, Newman) to run repeatable checks without manual intervention, ideal for regression suites and CI/CD integration. QA Madness combines both: manual for exploration, automation for stable endpoints that need continuous validation.

Question 3

How do I choose the right API testing company?

Accepted Answer

Prioritize four criteria: methodology transparency (structured test cases and bug reports), tool depth (Postman, RestAssured, JMeter, OWASP ZAP), domain experience in your industry, and integration with your existing CI/CD pipeline. QA Madness has 10+ years of API testing experience, ISTQB-certified engineers, a 4.9 G2 rating, and an average client retention of 3.5 years – with onboarding completed in 1-3 days.

Question 4

Do your API testing services work for small businesses and early-stage teams?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Engagements are flexible – you can start with a single engineer covering manual testing and basic automation without a long-term contract. API testing is particularly high-value for small teams because catching broken endpoints and authentication failures early costs significantly less than fixing them post-release.

Question 5

What is API usability testing and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

API usability testing evaluates how easy an API is to integrate and use correctly – examining documentation clarity, endpoint naming, parameter structure, and error message specificity. Poor usability increases integration time, raises support burden, and introduces bugs on the consumer side. QA Madness includes usability assessment as part of comprehensive API QA engagements.

Question 6

Can API testing be integrated into a CI/CD pipeline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. API tests operate at the backend layer, execute in seconds, and are among the most reliable checks to automate in a pipeline. QA Madness integrates automated API suites into Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Azure Pipelines so every commit triggers validation and failed endpoints block the build before reaching staging.

Question 7

What API testing tools and frameworks does QA Madness use?

Accepted Answer

For functional and automated testing: Postman, Newman, RestAssured, and Karate. For performance and load testing: JMeter and Grafana K6. For security: OWASP ZAP and custom penetration scripts. Tool selection for each project is based on your API architecture and existing toolchain – not a fixed default stack.
