Backend or API Testing:

• Understands some of the different kinds of backend testing and can speak to the first bullet:

Functional testing tests how the data is mapped between the backend and front-end. For eg. Considering an e-commerce website, if we ask for the price of any product, the front-end should map with the correct table and return the valid data.

• Structural testing deals with metadata. In the structural backend, testing involves testing of objects that cannot be used by the users directly like Tables, Keys, Columns, Schema, Indexes, Functions, Triggers, etc.
• Non-functional testing can be seen as a performance, load, and stress testing where the testers test the performance of the database for unexpected loads. Security testing is also a part of non-functional testing.
• Ability to write simple to medium complexity SQL queries
• Experience with API testing and tools such as Postman or SoapUI
• Experience or at least knowledge of RPA or AI Test automation a plus, such as UiPath
