Bugs in API Testing

There are several types of bugs that can be found during API testing: duplicate functionality when more than one API performs the same function; missing functionality when a requirement is not fulfilled; compatibility issues when APIs don't work well with certain platforms or frameworks; error handling problems when incorrect or vague error messages are provided for invalid requests; security vulnerabilities when APIs are accessible to unauthorized users; reliability errors when APIs may not be available at all times; performance issues when response times are too slow under load; and documentation deficiencies when APIs lack adequate or clear documentation. The document asks what additional type of bug should be added to the list.

developed
Compatibility

When APIs don’t work well

with certain platforms,

frameworks, or languages,

leading to integration issues

Error Handling

When APIs don’t provide correct

error messages for unexpected/

invalid requests

Security
When APIs are accessible to
unauthorized users too

Reliability

When APIs may not be available

at all times

Performance
