Hands-On Experience in API Performance Testing | What is API Testing
summary
Hands-on demo uses Artillery.io with a YAML script that targets an environment, sets headers and plugins, and runs a ramp-up 10s, 10 users then a 30s steady phase; output is a JSON log converted to an HTML report. Observed API timings: create (POST) shows P95 ≈ 314 ms, P99 ≈ 361 ms (min 281 ms, max 417 ms), get (GET) shows P95 ≈ 37 ms, P99 ≈ 47 ms, combined scenario P95 ≈ 432 ms, P99 ≈ 478 ms.
