Build the Backend for Your APIs

1. Scheduling: Scheduling is a key aspect of the API development process. People in your team need to complete and report their work based on the scheduled timeline to ensure timely project delivery.
2. Development and Self-Testing: The development phase typically involves coding and debugging, while the self-testing phase involves developers testing and validating their own developed APIs to ensure their functionality meets expectations.
3. Integration Testing: Integration testing is a stage where APIs between different modules are debugged and tested to ensure their interactions and communications are correct and stable.
4. QA Testing: QA testing (or quality assurance testing) aims to identify and eliminate defects or vulnerabilities in the API before it is released to end-users. This stage is critical in ensuring the reliability and security of the API.
5. Product Acceptance: Product acceptance involves comprehensive testing, evaluation, and confirmation to determine whether the API meets the expected goals and standards. This stage is vital for ensuring that the API is ready for production and meets the users' requirements.
6. Deployment: Once the API has passed all the necessary tests and evaluations, it is then deployed to the production environment. This enables users or clients to access and utilize the API.
