Achieving Full-Stack Parallel Development with Service Virtualization and OAS

The emergence of API standards, like the OpenAPI Specification, have lead more organizations to adopt a definition-driven or “design-first” approach to software development.

In a definition-driven approach, teams start with the design of an API, getting alignment earlier in the lifecycle before a sign line of code is written. The definition acts as the blueprint of your API and can be leveraged to automate tasks throughout the API lifecycle — including development, testing, documentation, and monitoring — and can streamline the development workflow across teams.

But while the definition-driven approach has benefits, it can often be difficult to migrate to because of the risk of development bottlenecks and dependencies on different teams.

Enter service virtualization. Running virtual services removes dependencies on external services during your application development lifecycle and allows you to validate your software by virtualizing its actions before and during coding.

In this webinar we will look at how teams can unlock parallel development when moving to a definition driven approach with API virtualization.

We will cover:
•    Benefits of adopting a definition-driven approach
•    Utilizing virtualization to remove dependencies
•    Achieving parallel development across front end and back end teams
•    Live demo of how SwaggerHub & ServiceV help unlock parallel development
