API Testing

API Testing

API testing is part of how I keep builds honest. I use Postman to verify what endpoints actually do, rather than trusting what the code assumes.

Why it matters

Most real bugs live at the boundaries: between front-end and back-end, between app and third-party service, between automation steps. API testing is how I inspects those boundaries directly.

How I use it

  • Verifying Supabase endpoints and auth flows
  • Testing integrations used inside n8n workflows
  • Debugging data flow between Next.js front-end and server routes
  • Exploring third-party APIs before committing to them
  • Keeping a library of reusable test requests across projects

Why it fits my approach

I prefer evidence over assumption. Testing APIs gives me a direct view of reality. That matches my preference for real substance and Directness in how I work.

What it unlocks

  • Faster debugging cycles
  • Confidence before shipping
  • Cleaner integration work across Duodode projects
  • Less time lost to guesswork
