API Lifecycle Basics: Testing

Every API should be tested to ensure it delivers what is expected of it. All code being deployed should meet required unit and code tests, but increasingly API testing is adding another layer of assurance to existing build processes, even going so far as halting CI/CD workflows if tests fail. API testing is another area where API definitions are delivering, allowing tests to be built from existing artifacts, and allowing detailed assertions to be associated with tests to add to and evolve the existing definitions.

API testing has grown over the last couple of years to include a variety of open source solutions, as well as cloud service providers. Most of the quality solutions allow you to import your OpenAPI, and automate the testing via APIs. Here are a few of the solutions I recommend considering as you think about how API testing can be introduced into your API operations. https://goo.gl/m4jv3g #DataIntegration #ML

3 API Bugs to Watch Out for in 2018

APIs are the backbone of countless platforms and apps today. Yet, only a fraction of the amount of time and money is spent testing them compared to websites and apps. Thankfully, in the past four years, more tools and knowledge have come to the market.

I have been in the space since 2013 and can tell you the number of ways an API can fail is infinite and always changing. Sometimes new technologies or practices leads to a certain kind of failure one year, that we will not see the next. Using some hard lessons learned in 2017, and with an eye to the future, I present some API bugs that we think will be unfortunately common in the next year. https://goo.gl/FzXAoB #DataIntegration #ML
