API Testing and Development with Postman. A practical guide to creating, testing, and managing APIs for automated software testing

Dave Westerveld

Postman enables the exploration and testing of web APIs, helping testers and developers figure out how an API works. With Postman, you can create effective test automation for any APIs. If you want to put your knowledge of APIs to work quickly, this practical guide to using Postman will help you get started.The book provides a hands-on approach to learning the implementation and associated methodologies that will have you up and running with Postman in no time. Complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts, practical examples, and self-assessment questions, this book begins by taking you through the principles of effective API testing. A combination of theory coupled with real-world examples will help you learn how to use Postman to create well-designed, documented, and tested APIs. You'll then be able to try some hands-on projects that will teach you how to add test automation to an already existing API with Postman, and guide you in using Postman to create a well-designed API from scratch.By the end of this book, you'll be able to use Postman to set up and run API tests for any API that you are working with.

Quantum Machine Learning and Optimisation in Finance. Drive financial innovation with quantum-powered algorithms and optimisation strategies - Second Edition

Antoine Jacquier, Oleksiy Kondratyev, Alexander Lipton, Marcos López de Prado

As quantum machine learning (QML) continues to evolve, many professionals struggle to apply its powerful algorithms to real-world problems using noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) hardware. This book bridges that gap by focusing on hands-on QML applications tailored to NISQ systems, moving beyond the traditional textbook approaches that explore standard algorithms like Shor's and Grover's, which lie beyond current NISQ capabilities.You’ll get to grips with major QML algorithms that have been widely studied for their transformative potential in finance and learn hybrid quantum-classical computational protocols, the most effective way to leverage quantum and classical computing systems together.The authors, Antoine Jacquier, a distinguished researcher in quantum computing and stochastic analysis, and Oleksiy Kondratyev, a Quant of the Year awardee with over 20 years in quantitative finance, offer a hardware-agnostic perspective. They present a balanced view of both analog and digital quantum computers, delving into the fundamental characteristics of the algorithms while highlighting the practical limitations of today’s quantum hardware.By the end of this quantum book, you’ll have a deeper understanding of the significance of quantum computing in finance and the skills needed to apply QML to solve complex challenges, driving innovation in your work.
