The main challenge of manual API testing is its lack of scalability, as it relies on labor-intensive, human effort that becomes increasingly slow and prone to error as the number of endpoints and required regression cycles grow.

The solution? Automation.

For automated API testing to work efficiently, API tests must be automation-ready by design, with structure that holds up in pipeline execution.

In this technical session, Adrian Minnock will show how to build API tests in ReadyAPI using core processes that support reuse, maintainability, and CI execution. Once our API tests are ready for automated execution, we will demonstrate how to run our ReadyAPI tests within our CI/CD pipeline and then generate reports in multiple formats for easy analysis of the results.

Who is it for?

  • Teams trying to reduce time spent on maintaining large test suites in current automated pipelines
  • Tech teams and QA trying to adopt shift-left API testing

What can you learn in 30 minutes?

  • Parameterise API tests with data-driven inputs for CI-scale execution
  • Pass runtime values between steps to model stateful API workflows
  • Apply precise assertions to fail fast in automated pipelines
  • Produce machine- and engineer-readable reports for CI results
  • Configure environments for repeatable execution across local and pipeline runs
  • Execution of ReadyAPI functional tests in our CI/CD pipeline

How does it help?

  • Cut days of testing into hours with automation
  • 50% faster time-to-market
