Messing Up Your APIs and How to Fix Them
HCL Software’s OneTest team was tasked with a challenge — creating a new, server-based platform for testers, while including a range of open REST-based APIs.
Despite years of experience testing other peoples’ APIs, not everyone on the team understood what it took to build an externally facing API.
Hear about our failures at building understandable, performant and testable APIs, and how we actively changed our culture to facilitate better communication between the API developers and consumers. Also learn how we incorporated testability into our process so that we co easily test our own product.
