API testing and validation

  • Difference?
    • Validation: API receives a message and decides if it's valid or not
    • Testing: different use cases
      • TDD as you build the API
      • Test if the API is running (lifecycle/ci)
      • Debugging
    • API performance testing

Batch APIs

  • Common requirements

    • Are they atomic?
    • What kind of operations are supported?

  • Existing approaches

  • POST /batch

Describing APIs

  • Idea is to have a DSL/structured file that will describe your API

  • Question: is there a repo where people share their Blueprint schemas so we can see them?

    • Not right now. There are definitely plans to make it really open
    • Some people are already sharing their blueprints on GH

  • There are no other ways to collaborate on API design

One API to rule them all

An API can be split between:

  • Public
  • Private

Or maybe between consumers:

  • iOS/Android

Hi Pedro,
Just a friendly reminder (since it's your first check due) that your rent payment was due on August 1st, and today is the last day to pay and not to get a late fee.
Thanks
