ASC 2022 - API Specifications Conference

Re-using OpenAPI for test-automation is hard. We discuss specific challenges and a proposed solution with a demo.

The main challenge is that meaningful use of an API involves a sequence of HTTP calls. This is how end-users experience an API in real-world business workflows.

Validating that data within API request and response payloads accurately reflects business-rules, is hard. We will present solutions that complement OpenAPI schema-based approaches.

Finally, we will present a case-study of complex API test-automation in an enterprise setting. You will understand Important factors that drove choice of the testing-framework. We will  explore API workflow documentation and API coverage reports, and summarize with a vision for the future.
