API Testing Without the End-to-End Pain

Date: 08 June 2026, 19:30

Speaker: Georgi Ivanov – Senior Automation QA at Tradu

About the event:
This event is part of the Software Quality Assurance user group https://dev.bg/groups/qa/.

Program:

• A failing E2E test tells you something is broken, but often not where the problem actually is.
• This talk shows how to catch integration issues earlier by testing an API with the real service running in Testcontainers.
• Keep service behavior close to production;
• Make the test setup more predictable and easier to start;
• Catch issues that unit tests usually miss;
• Reduce reliance on E2E as the first signal that integration is broken.
• Q&A session

The event is free of charge, but pre-registration is mandatory.
