A budget Airlines from Florida, USA, asked our team to automate tests for their RESTful APIs.
The APIs served for tightly coupled transactions between the users and industry.
TestMatick specialists had to select the most suitable instruments for automation, send HTTP requests to the server and find and evaluate JavaScript Object Notation responses.
Solution Implemented by TestMatick
TestMatick was tasked with implementing an automated testing solution for the airline’s suite of RESTful APIs. The approach was multi-faceted and adapted to the unique challenges faced:
- Test Planning and Strategy: Developed a detailed testing strategy that included identifying critical API endpoints, defining test cases, and setting up test data.
- Automation Framework Setup: Utilized a robust automation framework compatible with RESTful API testing. Tools like Postman and Apache JMeter were integrated into the CI/CD pipeline for continuous testing.
- Selection of Automation Tools: The tasks were complicated because the customers had limited knowledge about automating APIs, and there was no graphical user interface to facilitate the recognition of API responses. To address these challenges, our experts decided to utilize advanced tools such as SoapUI Pro, Jenkins, and LoadUI. Scripts for evaluating JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) responses were written in Groovy, which allowed checking the dynamic values effectively.
- Automated Tests Development: Jenkins and SoapUI Pro were instrumental in assisting the customer’s development team in scheduling the creation of build versions and testing them systematically. This collaboration ensured that the automated tests were seamlessly integrated into the continuous delivery pipeline, allowing for frequent and reliable deployment cycles with immediate feedback on issues.
These measures significantly bolstered the testing framework, ensuring a comprehensive coverage that aligned with the high standards required in aviation technology.
Challenge
The primary challenge was to validate the robustness and performance of the airline’s RESTful APIs, which were integral to their digital operations. The key issues included:
- Complexity and Integration: The APIs interacted with various internal and external systems, necessitating comprehensive testing to ensure smooth operations across different platforms.
- High Demand and Scalability: As a budget airline with a significant customer base, the APIs needed to handle large volumes of requests without performance degradation.
- Security and Data Integrity: Protecting sensitive customer data like payment details and personal information was paramount.
