πŸ” The Problem Every Dev Faces (But Rarely Talks About)

😩 The Developer's Dilemma

Every developer has been there: you're building a feature that relies on an API, but the backend isn't ready yet. Or perhaps you're trying to test edge cases, but generating the necessary mock data feels like a Herculean task. These scenarios are all too common, yet they often go unspoken.

πŸ§ͺ The API Testing Quagmire

Testing APIs can be a minefield. Developers frequently grapple with:

  • Authentication and Authorization: Managing tokens and permissions can be complex and time-consuming.
  • Data Validation: Ensuring that APIs return the correct data types and adhere to specified schemas is critical.
  • Rate Limiting: APIs often have limits on the number of calls, complicating testing efforts.
  • Error Handling: Simulating and handling various error scenarios requires meticulous planning.

These challenges can lead to delays, bugs, and a lot of frustration.
