Adapt guide to be inclusive of API testing

[itscooper]

Web-based APIs can, for the most part, be testing using this guide. Some elements are naturally client-side and therefore irrelevant to API testing.

I suggest that we create an article in section 3 or 4.1 that talks about how the guide can be used for API testing.

I further suggest that we review the existing articles to ensure that the language used is appropriate for web app and APIs alike, and determine where any additions might be needed where testing for the same issue on an API involves a different process.

#76 partially addressed this issue. A review of existing articles is still outstanding.

I can take this one.

I see there is “testing for APIs” page (in the root of the repo). I would like to suggest taking this content and reworking it into several subtopics within the API section.

Starting with a 00-API Testing Overview Section.
Then renaming 01-Testing for GraphQL to some later number but keeping the content intact
Next, 01-Finding APIs, the recon of finding APIs to test
Following with section on specific testing based on the API top 10.

Interesting in leadership thoughts on this approach.

I think this makes sense! Would you like to do a rough draft for the new content? I'm happy to help go over it then.

Thank you. I almost have a PR ready for the Overview section.

@victoriadrake There is a PR available for you to review.
