In my area, there seems to be a growing interest in effective API testing as more companies rely heavily on microservices and integrations. I recently started working on a project where the API layer is crucial, and I’m wondering which frameworks or tools actually deliver the best results these days. There are so many options floating around, and it gets confusing deciding whether to focus on open-source tools or commercial ones. Has anyone experienced a significant difference in their testing coverage or efficiency based on the frameworks they chose? Also, how easy is it to integrate these tools with continuous integration pipelines? Since API testing often needs both manual and automated strategies, I’m curious about which tools support both smoothly.
