API Testing
Implementation of Test API Automation Framework
A Payment services company required test automation services for their restful / SOAP APIs. The solution needed to be scalable and cost effective with usage of open source tools.
Client Challenges and Requirements
- Client was looking for a testing solution that can minimize manual testing and bring in a scalable test automation solution.
- The primary challenges include: Reduce of manual testing; Usage of open source technologies so as to improve cost effectiveness; Scalable based on new API addition.
Bitwise Solution
Analysis of all the restful / SOAP APIs under consideration
Evaluation of open source APIs / Tools to create tests
Performed a successful POC by which Restful APIs were validated for proper responses over CI
Development of API Test framework using node.js, Jasmine , mocha to suffice the testing requirements
Creation of design patterns to enhance the scalability
Proper test reporting
Tools & Technologies We Used
Node JS
Virtualization
Jasmine
BDD Cucumber
Junit
Swagger API
Java POI API
ExtentReports
Jenkins CI
Key Results
Test framework was cost effective as was created using open source tools / APIs
Scalability was added due to usage of proper design patterns across similar APIs
Manual testing efforts were reduced by 60% hence, adding to cost savings
