How can I integrate async API testing into my CI/CD pipeline?

Integrating async API testing into your CI/CD pipeline involves several steps. First, you need to choose a testing framework that supports asynchronous operations, like Jest or Mocha. Then, you can write your tests to handle async calls.

What tools do you recommend for async API testing?

I recommend using tools like Postman for manual testing, and for automated testing, consider using frameworks like Jest or Cypress that support async operations.

How do I ensure my tests run efficiently in the pipeline?

To ensure efficiency, you can run tests in parallel, use mocking for external services, and only run tests that are affected by recent changes.

Can you give me an example of an async test?

Sure! Here's a simple example using Jest:

test('fetches data asynchronously', async () => {
  const data = await fetchData();
  expect(data).toEqual(expectedData);
});
