Microservices architecture that develops a single application as a suite of small services exposed as HTTP resource API, is becoming a hot topic. Now more than ever, software projects demand efficient API testing. API Testing Recipes in Ruby will show you solutions for efficient API testing, including: - generating flexible request data, e.g. SOAP message, CSV/Excel - invoking various APIs, e.g. SOAP, REST - parse returned response, e.g. XML, JSON - fully automating all test scripts, no manual intervention - executing all test scripts as regression testing in a CI server - leveraging easy to read and powerful Ruby script language All recipe test scripts (80+ in Ruby language) are ready to run. Owning this book is like having a test automation coach sitting next to you.
