Avoiding APIpocalypse; API Resiliency Testing FTW! by Naresh Jain #SeleniumConf 2024
Показать описание
As we build more complex distributed Applications, the resilience of APIs can be the linchpin of application reliability and user satisfaction. This talk will delve into practical tools and techniques used to enhance the resilience of APIs. We will explore how we utilise API specifications for simulating various input data, network conditions and failure modes to test how well the API handles unexpected situations.
Our session will begin with an overview of API resilience—why it matters, and what it means to build robust APIs that gracefully handles flaky dependencies in real-world operations. We'll discuss the role of contract testing in achieving resilience and how to turn API specifications into executable contracts that can be continuously validated.
Following the introduction, we will dive into hands-on strategies for implementing these techniques into your day-to-day development and testing workflow. This includes setting up practices to run resilience tests, such as testing endpoints for handling latency, errors, and abrupt disconnections. We'll provide examples of how to configure tools to simulate these conditions, interpret test results, and iteratively improve API designs.
Additionally, the session will also cover how to integrate with CI/CD pipelines and practices to foster better collaboration between Architect, Developers, QA engineers, and DevOps stakeholders through shared understanding and executable documentation.
To wrap up, we will discuss best practices for scaling API testing strategies across larger projects and teams, ensuring that resilience testing becomes a cornerstone of your API strategy rather than an afterthought.
This talk is designed for Architect, Tech Lead, Software developers, QA Engineers, and DevOps Engineers, who are keen on enhancing API resilience. Attendees will leave with actionable insights and tools to implement robust API testing strategies that can withstand the pressures of real-world usage. Join us to learn how you can transform your API testing approach and help build systems that last.
