Automated Testing Services Across The
Web Application Lifecycle
Speed up development, improve quality and reduce risk with
Cigniti’s Web Services Test Accelerator
WEB SERVICES TEST ACCELERATOR
To achieve strategic convergence, enterprises are adopting a pragmatic shift towards Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and web services across IT infrastructure. Since web services are distributed over networks and applications, the testing requirements need to be inclusive of the interfaces. Web services are inherently vulnerable to additional risks in the areas of integration and interoperability.
In addition, enterprises are expected to ensure forward integration to incorporate the emerging requirements with minimum effort. The incessant challenges faced by web services generate voluminous and unexpected test data combinations that need to be addressed by 100 % functional test coverage for the web server. The sheer scope of disruption mandates web services validation by seasoned test experts with sophisticated test approach.
CIGNITI’S WEB SERVICE TESTING FRAMEWORK
Cigniti’s Web Services Test Accelerator (WSTA) automates the web services testing of SOA-based applications at the interface level and reduces the need to support testing in parallel to the development phase. The accelerator supports both API functional testing and API performance testing of the web services.
Following are the steps used in Cigniti’s WSTA – Establish, Automate, Rythm, Levels, Yields (EARLY):
- ESTABLISH (Measurement Criteria; Devise smart performance requirements; Granular goals per API)
- AUTOMATE It (Build an automated pack of API tests)
- Follow a RYTHM (Test often, for every build & deployment (test/production releases))
- Test for multiple LEVELS (Measure API performance for scalability, stress & endurance; Monitor production usage)
- Invest for higher YIELDS (Spending time on performance investigation is an investment; Fail fast)
KEY DIFFERENTIATORS OF CIGNITI’S WSTA
Cigniti’s WSTA allows web applications to seamlessly integrate with various protocols and data formats such as REST, SOAP/WSDL, Atom, JSON, YAML and many others. Cigniti’s WSTA provides the following benefits:
- Improves performance and reliability of the Service Oriented Application (SOA)
- Cost effective solution to test both SOA-based and REST API-based web services
- Supports test execution of web services in cloud environment
- Ensures 100% Functional Test coverage
- Reduces web services test case authoring effort by 80%
