Faster Development and Better Quality In The Era of API DefinitionsNordic APIs
Â
Definition driven API development advocates for designing the APIâs definition first before any other lifecycle operation has been implemented. This definition is then used to drive other aspects of the API lifecycle, including implementation, testing, and virtualization of your APIs. The OpenAPI Specification has emerged as THE definition framework for REST APIs, and provides a common contract of designers, developers, testers, and devops to build and maintain APIs.
In this session, we will detail how you can take advantage of the OpenAPI Specification to accelerate your API development and testing strategy. We will cover how you can use SmartBear tools like SwaggerHub to design and manage your definition, and how this definition can be refactored into the ReadyAPI testing suite, and ServiceV, to virtualize your API dependencies and deliver quality, performant APIs faster.

#APIOps- Agile API Development powered by API Connectpramodvallanur
Â
API development needs to be agile to quickly adapt to changing business needs. API Connect supports agile API development through tools that simplify each stage of the API lifecycle from development to production. It provides developer tools, enables continuous integration and deployment, automates testing across environments, and ensures governance as APIs are promoted. This allows teams to focus on API development while removing distractions and friction through automation.
DevOps needs to consider many different aspects of software quality, including security. The term DevSecOps was developed to highlight that security is a focus of the pipeline, not a second-class citizen.
Fortunately, we can define done for our pipeline so that it includes security. Continuous integration can invoke static analysis tools to test for security errors and check if we are using components with known vulnerabilities. Automated deployments and virtualization make dynamic environments available for testing in a production-like setting. Regression tests can drive traffic through proxies for security analysis. From the code to the systems where we deploy the software, the process can be designed to make sure that we follow security best practices, and not produce insecure software.
Participants will learn how to construct a definition of done that focuses on security in a DevOps pipeline. They will see how to define security practices that build confidence that they are doing DevSecOps, and how those practices and criteria might mature over time.

Growth Hacking APIs: What role do APIs play in your growth strategy.
Thereâs been lots of buzz in the tech startup space about âgrowth hackingâ â what is it? how is it related to development? how is it related to marketing?
At itâs core, growth hacking is about finding a strategy for growth within the parameters of scalability and replicability, driven by product and inspired by data. Growth hackingâs core is based in marketing but driven by product.
Once the definition is clear, the question then becomes: without a UI to lean on, how does one âgrowth hackâ an API?
At last yearâs Nordic API conference, Guillaume Balas from 3Scale presented several typologies of an API, namely API is the product, API projects the product, API promotes the product, and API powers the product.
This presentation will elaborate on and reframe those typologies in the context of marketing and growth hacking of an API. We will examine the circumstances where an API is actually a growth hack in of itself, and where it is in need of growth hacking in order to make the business model behind it succeed.
The presentation will use core concepts of strategic marketing â such as positioning, pricing, targeting, promotion, product and distribution â to create a framework for either growth hacking an API or developing an API as a key tactic in a growth strategy.

Standardising APIs: Powering the Platform Economy in Financial ServicesSmartBear
Â
In this webinar session, SmartBear and SWIFT discuss the importance of API standardisation and the role it plays in the new platform economy in the financial services industry.
The document discusses effective API lifecycle management using the OpenAPI Specification (OAS). It describes the stages of an API lifecycle including design, development, testing, deployment and versioning. It identifies challenges around collaboration, documentation, security and testing. It recommends using OAS to drive quality at all stages and details how OAS can help with versioning, automation, change management, extensibility, reusability, compatibility and verifiability. The key takeaways are to not reinvent the wheel, prepare for changes, have a process, and put quality at the center of the API lifecycle.
The API Lifecycle Series: Exploring Design-First and Code-First Approaches to...SmartBear
Â
This document discusses design-first and code-first approaches to API development. It explores how existing services can leverage the OpenAPI Specification (OAS) and the benefits of each approach. Design-first allows for a single source of truth across design, development, testing and documentation. It enables early feedback and iteration. Code-first treats OAS as a byproduct of development and enables existing practices, but requires more customization. The document provides examples of how teams have implemented both approaches using SmartBear tools.
The API Lifecycle Series: Evolving API Development and Testing from Open Sour...SmartBear
Â
This document summarizes an upcoming webinar on evolving API development and testing. The webinar will discuss:
- Getting started with the OpenAPI Specification (OAS) and functional API testing using open source tools
- The challenges of OAS development at scale including having specs in multiple places, collaboration needs, and integrating development into delivery pipelines
- When open source tools are no longer sufficient and it's time to move to pro tools, such as when dynamic test data is needed, testing multiple environments, and including tests in CI/CD pipelines

Successfully Implementing BDD in an Agile WorldSmartBear
Â
This document provides an overview of successfully implementing Behavior Driven Development (BDD) in an agile environment. It discusses shifting testing left by involving testers earlier in the development process. The document then covers the key aspects of a BDD process including discovery workshops to understand requirements, writing examples and scenarios in a Given/When/Then format, automating scenarios, and using continuous integration to ensure tests always pass. It emphasizes that adopting BDD requires changes to people, processes, and tools to facilitate collaboration between all teams.

How Capital One Scaled API Design to Deliver New Products FasterSmartBear
Â
This document outlines an approach for scaling API development across a large enterprise financial institution. It proposes establishing a Platform Services Center of Excellence to define API governance and design standards. The COE would provide training, mentorship, and reviews to coaches in each line of business to ensure APIs adhere to standards and are high quality. This centralized model aims to scale API development while maintaining quality, enabling faster delivery of new products.
This document discusses using TestComplete to automate testing in non-GUI environments by leveraging PuTTY to interact with Linux servers. The author was able to scale their testing efforts, ensure accuracy, and reduce testing time from 3 days to 1.5 days by developing a common PuTTY library and test framework in TestComplete. Key aspects included launching PuTTY, sending commands, validating results, and logging detailed information for troubleshooting. This allowed complicated testing to be completed more quickly and fit within a DevOps pipeline.
This document discusses script extensions in TestComplete, which allow users to extend the functionality of the software. Script extensions can create custom record/design time actions, test operations, results operations, and script objects. Script objects are useful for encapsulating code into reusable libraries. Extensions help solve problems like maintaining modularized code across projects and providing building blocks for rapid test development. The document demonstrates how to create a script object extension.
BDD can help save Agile by facilitating better collaboration through conversations, concrete examples, and test-driven development. BDD practices like discovering and automating desired system behaviors through examples and tests improve communication between team members. This leads to a shared understanding and living documentation, helping teams work together more effectively. Automated tests also allow for safer refactoring and help teams stay agile by ensuring code quality is maintained.
API Automation and TDD to Implement Master Data Survivorship RulesSmartBear
Â
The document discusses implementing and testing data survivorship rules (DSRs) for master data using API automation and test-driven development (TDD). It notes the challenges of testing the complex scenarios involving DSRs across different fields, field types, and data operations. The solution involved creating a testing matrix and using the ReadyAPI tool to drive development and prevent defects through an automated test-first approach. This allowed the DSR project to be completed in the shortest sprint yet with no functional issues reported after release.
Support Rapid Systems Growth with a Design-First ApproachSmartBear
Â
This document discusses Viasat's use of a design-first approach with SwaggerHub to standardize data definitions and develop APIs collaboratively. Key benefits include reusing common data fields and objects across APIs, enforcing standards, and scaling development through documentation, code generation, and integration with source control. Future goals include automated testing and load testing capabilities to improve scalability.
Maximize Test Automation with a Risk-Based ApproachSmartBear
Â
This document discusses maximizing test automation initiatives using a risk-based approach. It recommends identifying project and product risks to guide testing. Automating appropriate high-risk tests, creating quality gates, and continuously evaluating metrics can reduce risks. Quality gates for code, integration, UI/security/performance help catch issues early. Focusing automation on high-risk tests while reducing redundancy improves productivity and quality.
Modernizing the Enterprise API Development ProcessSmartBear
Â
The document discusses modernizing the enterprise API development process. It covers enterprise challenges like lack of communication and arbitrary deadlines. It then discusses using microservices and the idealistic versus pragmatic approaches. It recommends designing APIs first to gain better understanding and allow for collaboration. It also discusses tools for API design like SwaggerHub and integrating microservices through approaches like service meshes and API gateways, providing a demo of Kong.
Developing Performance-Oriented Code: Moore's Law Over 50SmartBear
Â
This presentation discusses the impact of Moore's Law on software development. It provides:
1) A brief history of Moore's Law and how it has allowed hardware performance to grow exponentially over time through increased transistor counts and parallelism.
2) An explanation that while hardware continues to improve, software must now be optimized for parallelism and vectors in order to fully utilize modern hardware, as single-threaded scalar code will not take advantage of performance improvements.
3) Examples of the economic, technological, and societal impacts that Moore's Law has enabled, such as lower costs, ubiquitous computing, and advances in industries like transportation, healthcare, and more.
The document discusses the implementation and evolution of DevOps at SmartBear. It describes how SmartBear transitioned from a traditional operations model to a cloud and DevOps-focused approach as the company grew through acquisitions. This involved migrating infrastructure to cloud providers, adopting microservices and container technologies, standardizing deployment processes, and adding proactive monitoring using AlertSite. The benefits of DevOps for SmartBear included improved scalability, mean time to recovery, deployment frequency, time to market, and stability.

APIs expand the capabilities and functionalities you can offer, without putting a ton of resources behind integrations. To get the most out of APIs, businesses use APIs in the following ways:
Integrate with third party APIs
Build APIs for internal use
Build APIs and expose APIs for external use
APIs have potential to add value to your business for customers and employees alike. Understanding what an API endpoint is and how to measure performance is key in capturing the potential value APIs offer.
Â
A good API makes it easier to develop a computer program by providing all the building blocks, which are then put together by the programmer. An API may be for a web-based system, operating system, database system, computer hardware or software library. An API specification can take many forms, but often includes specifications for routines, data structures, object classes, variables or remote calls. POSIX, Windows API and ASPI are examples of different forms of APIs. Documentation for the API is usually provided to facilitate usage and reimplementation.
API Monitoring tools are designed to help you analyze the performance of your applications and improve poorly performing APIs. They provide measurements of how long a routine takes to execute, how often it is called, where it is called from, and how much of total time is spent executing that transaction.
Plan to monitor in pre-prod, prod, or both
Reuse â API specifications/definitions or Functional tests
We will share examples from various industries to uncover how you can monitor your APIs, optimize your MTTR, and reduce costs.
You build, you test, and once you deploy, you MUST monitor how the application is doing!
With the use of AlertSite comprehensive monitoring through API and transactional monitoring, our MTTR has consistently gone down over the past 4 years, and the gulf between Dev and Ops has decreased.
Now, AlertSite is front-and-center in our NOC. It is the most trusted monitoring tool within our Operations team.
The start and end times for Incidents are determined based on AlertSite data, customer SLAs are built upon AlertSite data.
