# Webservice Automation

Webservice Automation helps you to validate backend services without relying on the application’s user interface. You can create the API Test Cases and execute within the Avo Assure platform, which also supports functional and UI automation to enable complete end-to-end validation. 

When automating Webservice applications in Avo Assure, the Element Repository serves as a key component for sending requests and receiving responses using various HTTPs methods and endpoint URLs. This capability enables real time interactions such as setting parameter values, tag value, tag attributes, and retrieving these values from the request body of the web service endpoint for validation and automation.
