As the number of APIs we produce grows, so does the complexity of managing and governing their lifecycle. In this webinar, our team of SmartBear API experts, will guide you through the complexity of modern API product delivery. The session will cover the API lifecycle phases from ideation to a consumption-ready API product, which they will integrate into a client application. This will be demonstrated through a role-based scenario, where each speaker will embody personas (Developer, Architect, QA, Consumer, Product Manager) in the API development process.​

What we will cover during the 90 min webinar: 

  • Collaborative establish the business requirements
  • Enforce API design standards to meet company standards and industry norms
  • Use SwaggerHub to unlock the advantages of design first approach for APIs 
  • Use ReadyAPI for integrated API testing and setup rich API virtualization 
  • Productize the API on the SwaggerHub portal
  • Use PactFlow to implement bi-directional contract testing
  • Leverage API definitions and artifacts for DevOps automation
  • Run through provider and client deployments with quality gated CI/CD flows
  • Safely extend our API after Go-Live by catch breaking changes

Whether you are a developer, tester/QA or an architect, this webinar will provide you with valuable insights on how to address these challenges in each stage of the API development process to help you deliver more successful APIs. There will be a live Q&A during the session along with post webinar packaged resource materials. We look forward to guiding you through this journey of collaborative API delivery.
