Our API Testing Process
We've refined our approach over years of working with Vietnam's growing tech sector. Each project gets the thorough attention it deserves.
How We Approach Integration Testing
After working with dozens of Vietnamese startups and enterprises, we've learned that cookie-cutter testing just doesn't cut it. Every system has its quirks, and every business has different priorities.
- Start with understanding your actual business workflows
- Map out the critical paths that matter most to your users
- Build test scenarios around real-world usage patterns
- Focus on the integrations that could break your revenue stream
- Document everything in plain Vietnamese and English
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Here's exactly how we work through each testing project. No mystery, no black boxes.
Discovery & Documentation Review
We start by diving into your existing API documentation, database schemas, and any previous testing reports. This usually takes 2-3 days for most projects.
Pro tip: The better your documentation, the faster we can move. But don't worry if it's messy - we've seen worse.
Environment Setup & Access
We configure our testing environment to mirror your production setup. This includes setting up proper authentication, database connections, and any third-party service integrations.
We handle all the technical setup so your development team can keep working on features.
Test Case Development
Based on your business logic, we create comprehensive test cases covering happy paths, edge cases, and failure scenarios. Each test is designed to catch issues before they reach your users.
We focus heavily on the scenarios that would cause the most damage if they failed in production.
Execution & Reporting
We run the tests, analyze results, and compile detailed reports with actionable recommendations. You get both technical details for your developers and business impact summaries for stakeholders.
Reports are delivered in both Vietnamese and English, depending on your team's preference.

Real Talk About API Testing
Most businesses think API testing is just about making sure endpoints return 200 status codes. But the real value comes from testing the business logic behind those APIs.
"I've seen too many Vietnamese companies launch features that technically work but break under real user load. We test for the scenarios that actually matter - like what happens when your payment gateway goes down during Tet holiday shopping."
Tools We Actually Use
No fancy marketing here. These are the tools that get the job done, day in and day out.
Postman & Newman
For API testing and automated test runs. Simple, reliable, and your developers already know how to read the results.
Custom Python Scripts
When we need to test complex business logic or integrate with Vietnamese payment systems like VNPay or Momo.
JMeter
For load testing. Especially important if you're expecting traffic spikes during major shopping events.
Database Validation Tools
Because APIs are only as good as the data they work with. We check data integrity at every step.
