Add two or more route to the config. So you call api method by using name like below

C#

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
            name: "ApiByName",
            routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{name}",
            defaults: null,
            constraints: new { name = @"^[a-z]+$" }
           );
          config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
              name: "ApiByAction",
              routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}",
              defaults: new { action = "Get" }
          );
          config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
              name: "DefaultApi",
              routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
              defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
          );

Hope this helps

C#

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
               name: "Default",
               routeTemplate: "controller/{action}/{id}",
               defaults: new { controller="Employee" action = "test1", id = RouteParameter.Optional }
               );

You didn't mention controller.
[httpget],[httppost] are get differentiate with parameter.
You are not suppose to register all the route. Only default one is required.
Later application manage by clicking on different links.
