Accelerating Time-to-Market with AiDE API

The client faced challenges testing APIs with complex payloads, leading to delays in taking products to market. By implementing our API testing tool, AiDE API, we addressed these issues by automating end-to-end API testing, creating test cases, and integrating with Jenkins for daily test executions and reporting, quickly. As a result, the client achieved over 90% improved test coverage and minimized defect leakage to production by approximately 40%.

Challenges

Navigating API Testing and Market Accessibility Issues

The client is a US-based warehouse asset tracking and inventory management software solution provider. They wanted end-to-end testing of all scenarios for their backend APIs. However, they struggled to take products to market as quickly as they wanted due to the complexity of the APIs and inefficient testing processes. They sought an API automation testing solution to ensure comprehensive test coverage and improve traceability. They aimed to mitigate risks and enhance product quality.

  • Inadequate test coverage
  • Disproportionate time-to-market
  • Lack of traceability
  • 1. Increased APIs & inefficient testing with large payloads caused production feature delays, resulting in product launch delays
  • Insufficient test coverage increased product risks and post-production issues
  • Inefficient testing led to traceability gaps, making it hard to track API and feature testing status

Solution

Optimizing Testing Efficiency with AiDE API

To address the challenges the logistics solution provider faced, we implemented the AiDE API tool. We started by responding to the growing number of APIs with complex payloads and ensured thorough coverage before production. Despite resource constraints, we automated end-to-end API testing, utilizing no code automation for comprehensive testing, enabling rapid API test creation. We also leveraged the automated API test generation feature in AiDE API to automatically create test cases from APIs imported using OpenAPI specifications by addressing all positive, negative, and boundary conditions. We also performed end-to-end tests to track the complete user journeys utilizing save response and implemented all necessary assertions. Integration with Jenkins allowed for on-demand executions and the furnishing of detailed reports. Through these measures, we streamlined testing processes, expanded coverage, and fortified API reliability pre-deployment using our API automation testing solution.

Impact Created

Improved API Test Automation for Faster Time-to-market

With a focus on advancing logistical modernization, our client was able to accelerate test creation time. With AiDE API’s comprehensive test automation features, we automated 100 end-to-end and 1000 automatic test cases in two months. We also executed 1577 test cases in 14 minutes with minimal effort.

  • >90% improved test coverage
  • ~40% minimized defect leakage to production
