More than 90% of developers use APIs regularly, according to Slashdata, with most (69%) using third-party APIs. At the same time, many businesses are recognizing the value of building API ecosystems. For instance, Expedia generates over 90% of its revenue from APIs, enabling third-party websites to book flights, cars, and hotels through its platform. With a growing number of APIs to choose from, discoverability is critical for the success of data-driven businesses.

To build the highest quality product, you need to make sure requirements are met, tests are run, and issues are resolved. And this is particularly true if you're in a highly regulated industry. What's the best way to make sure this happens? Creating a requirements traceability matrix. 👀 Read the guide: What is a requirements traceability matrix >> For many organizations, a traceability matrix is first attempted in Microsoft Excel, but there's an easier way.

In software development, shift left is a practice that helps developers find vulnerabilities and coding errors earlier in the software development process. Shift-left security is an efficient approach that focuses on security and helps address any security issues in code long before the software is released. Here, we provide an overview of what is shift-left security and offer guidance on how a static analyzer can help you uncover security vulnerabilities early in the SDLC.

Automation testing has been gaining popularity as a reliable, scalable, and cost-effective alternative to manual testing – and rightfully so. With the right testing tools, QA teams can scale their testing processes quickly. In this article, we’ll talk more about how it works and how to get started with a tool like Ghost Inspector.

Testing asynchronous APIs (AsyncAPIs) is becoming increasingly important as more and more APIs adopt asynchronous communication patterns. ReadyAPI now supports testing of AsyncAPIs, making it an even better tool for API testing. In this blog post, we’ll provide step by step guidelines on how to import your AsyncAPIs from SwaggerHub into ReadyAPI and how to test them. Hopefully, this will help you get started with testing your own asynchronous APIs.

This is Part 5 of the Requirement Gathering Blog series by Rahul Parwal where we explore more on Dealing with Objections. We’d like to thank him for sharing his expertise with the community through this information-packed piece. When facing the issue of lacking proper documentation of requirements, it is important for testers to shift their perspective and focus on the needs and wants of the end-users or customers.

Adopting GraphQL and implementing GraphQL testing have become critical in the API-first landscape. The skyrocketing demand for modern software has put the importance of maintainable, functional, and scalable code on top. To enable independent evolution and decouple the front end from the backend, manual and automated API testing needs to take place for SOAP and REST architecture styles.

Dev projects are complex, and making a rich and robust user experience relies heavily upon testing the results before final production. Testing can be divided into alpha vs. beta testing, but on a continuum of software testing needs, both are mutually critical to a modern DevOps strategy.
