Testing & Quality
What is API Testing?
Testing services such as OData, SOAP, or REST directly at the interface level, without the user interface.
API tests verify business logic, authorization, and data contracts quickly and reliably. In S/4HANA, OData and released APIs are natural targets. They are well suited for CI pipelines.
