How to Leverage mobile app tests for API tests
summary
Claims that network traffic from a real device becomes reusable tests and monitors and shows a live demo of that pipeline. Uses Sauce Labs Real Device Cloud plus Appium / Selenium to capture HAR from real device then import it into an API client, auto‑generate assertions from JSON responses, and create a runnable test. Mentions 83% of web traffic is API and shows a demo with 36 requests passing, plus scheduling for continuous monitoring and reusing the same test to run load tests against production.
