Regardless of industry, companies have been undergoing significant financial struggles. It’s led to supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and increased operational costs. The strain of inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, and geopolitical uncertainties haven’t helped corporate balance sheets, either. As businesses strive to adapt to rapidly evolving consumer demands and digital transformation, they also face fierce competition, which has compressed profit margins.
In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, APIs are the backbone of seamless integration and innovation across various software platforms. As businesses and developers strive to create interconnected and efficient applications, having comprehensive and value-driven API documentation and API exploration tools within the same platform is indispensable.
SmartBear is excited to announce the release of SwaggerHub Portal, a feature of SwaggerHub allowing you to customize consumer-facing documentation for your APIs to maximize API discoverability. With its intuitive interface, you can easily create onboarding guides, reference documentation, and other materials that help developers both understand and integrate your APIs into their applications. With Portal, you can easily sync your API designs from SwaggerHub with zero context switching.
One of the hardest debates is deciding between a code-first API approach or design-first. In an ideal world, we would deliver our APIs at maximum velocity, with minimum maintenance. To maintain the appropriate API consumption, the world has looked at Amazon’s API Gateway as the orchestration of resources to create, deploy, and manage APIs at scale. One of the biggest challenges users face when using any API Gateway is the lack of consistency and standardization throughout the API experience.
Test automation has become an essential part of the software development process. Rather than spending hours conducting manual tests, you can write a script once and execute it with each release. This helps to maximize test coverage and save time, resulting in lower testing costs and a better customer experience. But which test automation tool should you use? What’s the difference?
Mobile apps are essential for many businesses to reach their target customer. As a result, flawless performance has become a top priority. Mobile testing plays a crucial role in this context by validating an app’s functionality, usability, and security across different devices, operating systems, and network environments. However, choosing the proper testing framework can be daunting due to the sheer number of options available and the unique considerations of each one.
The concept of Event-driven Architecture (EDA) has gained increasing attention in recent years. EDA is a style of software architecture that emphasizes the communication between software components via events, rather than direct invocation or method calls. In this blog post, we will delve into the concept of EDA and explore its significance in modern software development.
There are many components to a successful web testing strategy, but one of the most often overlooked is the importance of visual UI testing in addition to functional testing. Most teams will focus on one over the other, but to truly catch as many bugs as possible, you’ll need to incorporate both. First, you need to understand what the difference is and why they’re both needed.
