Hi,

I have written a bunch of RESTful web apis and now want to write integration tests.

I am thinking to write integration tests targeting staging server.

for example: My unit test will use Fark contexts but for integration tests, I want test if my business logic is correct. To do that I am thinking if I deploy my code on Staging IIS server and than run my tests. That way I will have fully functional live environment.

Please correct me if this approach is correct or not? Many thanks

    Hi Jass,

    Yes, you can use your local host to check the web service. Even you an use some already built in Http / REST service executer (“PostMan Chrome Extension“) and use the same to detect the response. You can also create a small tool to call the rest services hosted on IIS and check the actual performance tests.

    Do let me know if you face any issues doing the same.
