If you’re tired of writing endless lines of repetitive code in RestAssured just to test your APIs, you’re not alone. API testing shouldn’t feel like pulling teeth, but let’s face it—REST Assured can make the process boring and unnecessarily time-consuming. But what if you could leave that grind behind? In this guide, we’ll show you how to make the switch to Keploy, a smarter, zero-code way to test your APIs.

Let’s Take an e-commerce platform, where there are different services for user authentication, product catalog, and order processing. These services communicate through APIs. For example, the order processing service needs to get product details from the catalogue service. Contract testing ensures that the agreement between these services—specifying what data the order service expects from the product catalogue service—stays consistent.

Imagine your app faces a sudden surge in users. Thousands log in at once. Can your system handle the pressure, or will it crash?

Testing in production involves evaluating software directly in a live environment as real users. It’s becoming increasingly common.

More often in today’s society of growing ‘entrepreneurs’, almost all are developing Minimum Viable Products MVPs that breathe life into their concepts. A shocking but true statistic reveals that 90% of startups fail. One big reason for this is the poor execution of a key tool in the startup world: the minimum viable product (MVP). One of the reasons for this failure is the lack of tests conducted appropriately.

In the fast-paced, highly regulated world of financial services, delivering exceptional service isn’t just about speed – it’s about managing immense complexity. As financial institutions face increasing pressure to innovate, they also carry the weight of maintaining strict security and compliance standards. Test automation is more than just a tool; it empowers teams to modernize with confidence, knowing they can meet both quality expectations and regulatory demands.

Perforce has been contributing and working in open source for decades now. We understand that open source is the linchpin for technology that supports businesses today. Our approach to open source is not unique to the industry at large or a company of our size (we have around 1,700 employees and 800 are on my team), but questions of our approach to open source became much more visible when we acquired Puppet – which has a really dedicated open-source community and a long history with open source.
