REST is a popular choice of an API architecture. Learn the basics of how RESTful services work and see how to interact with them in ReadyAPI. 

Learn how your team can employ winning strategies to maximize the benefits of test management with Jira.

With a solid API Monitoring strategy and practice in place, it becomes easier to find and fix issues rapidly, as well as increasing the amount of feedback so your teams can continuously improve. In fact, our State of API Survey found that teams that prioritize API Monitoring as a strategy are able to resolve API issues in less than 24 hours.

According to our latest State of API report, API performance is seen as a top-factor in the success of an API program. With teams shifting to CI/CD and DevOps delivery at a rapid pace, performance testing can still be a major bottleneck to most teams. Siloed performance engineering teams are unable to keep up with the rapid pace of modern software delivery - many organizations still run load tests outside of the pipeline and only when holiday season comes around.

Test automation for both the API and UI layers is a must-have skill in 2019. APIs are inescapable in today's software architecture - acting as the glue to link together disparate data to provide a wide variety of services for users on one digital platform. API testing is truly the sweet spot of testing modern software applications to exponentially increase their test coverage, testing thousands of scenarios in a matter of seconds.

The State of API Report is designed to establish benchmarks for the API industry regarding the methodologies, practices, and tools used by software teams to plan, design, develop, test, document, and monitor APIs in 2019.

Thanks for being with the SmartBear Community. We've prepared a short report with the major 2018 highlights.

In this webinar, we'll learn the special nuances of REST APIs and how we can properly test them. We'll start by importing API definitions and creating complex assertions and finish by running it all in our CI/CD pipeline.

Organisations moving to agile and DevOps practices face the challenge of testing their software without slowing down their deployment process. With limited time to manually test during a continuous pipeline, automated testing coupled with CI/CD infrastructure like Jenkins is the preferred method of ensuring quality at speed. With Jenkins, ReadyAPI can help teams deliver continuous API quality — right inside their pipeline.

Developers and Testers, have you ever had a tool you wanted to use but couldn’t? Managers, Architects, and Support Teams, are you tired of having to support so many tools you can’t keep them all straight? Introducing the “Test Infrastructure as a Freeway” approach - which can bridge this dichotomy and make both end-users and infrastructure support teams feeling valued.
