Article - tools for api testing 2025

[themattwilliams]

What/Why/How?

• What: Adds and refines the Learn article learn/testing/tools-for-api-testing-in-2025.md (lead‑in box, “Aha” mini‑story, decision guides, comparison matrix, metrics section with targets/how‑to, prerequisites, diagram captions, links to CLI commands and related learn content).
• Why: Improve engagement and scannability; align with our storytelling framework; provide a clear decision path for API testing tools and “contract testing vs functional testing.”
• How: Edited the article content, added internal cross‑links, clarified terminology (CDCT, SLOs), fixed typos, added outcome metrics and a primary CTA.
