The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated API testing specific requirements:

STEP 1: Get your bearings

Start with...


• The latest quick edition of the API testing Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.


Organized in a data driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…


• Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation


Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 991 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which API testing improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 991 standard requirements:


1. Does the vendor have well rounded experience in a broad variety of pen testing, including for web apps, networks, APIs, thick clients, embedded devices, and more?
   
   

2. Is there any missing hardware components within mobile device models or features within API levels related to OS versions that the app needs it to work correctly?
   
   

3. Have you ever checked in a seemingly inconsequential change, opted to skip running the unit tests locally, and broken the test for the entire team?
   
   

4. Is the blending operation validated to show homogeneity of the combined batch where physical attributes of APIs are critical in the dosage form?
   
   

5. How do you define a high performance enterprise and what are the key parameters of your organization especially when it comes to talent?
   
   

6. How can mature companies with complex systems achieve the level of test automation that modern delivery schedules and processes demand?
   
   

7. How do usability bugs identified from API usability peer reviews compare with usability bugs identified from API usability tests?
   
   

8. Is it possible to add the authorization header parameters to validate the authentication for restricted RESTFul APIs?
   
   

9. What are the requirements for a data driven and vendor independent regression testing tool for PSD2 compliant APIs?
   
   

10. How do you align the new talent mindset with existing organizational mentality that is set in old ways of working?

STEP 3: Implement, Track, follow up and revise strategy

The outcomes of STEP 2, the self assessment, are the inputs for STEP 3; Start and manage API testing projects with the 62 implementation resources:


• 62 step-by-step API testing Project Management Form Templates covering over 1500 API testing project requirements and success criteria:


Examples; 10 of the check box criteria:


1. Risk Audit: Do you ensure the recommended rules of play and protocols are followed for your activity?
   
   

2. Probability and Impact Matrix: How do risks change during the API testing projects life cycle?
   
   

3. Procurement Audit: Does the procurement function/unit have the ability to negotiate with customers and suppliers?
   
   

4. Change Management Plan: Clearly articulate the overall business benefits of the API testing project -why are you doing this now?
   
   

5. Monitoring and Controlling Process Group: Were sponsors and decision makers available when needed outside regularly scheduled meetings?
   
   

6. Scope Management Plan: Is there general agreement & acceptance of the current status and progress of the API testing project?
   
   

7. Scope Management Plan: Does the title convey to the reader the essence of the API testing project?
   
   

8. Cost Management Plan: Are cause and effect determined for risks when others occur?
   
   

9. Activity Attributes: Have constraints been applied to the start and finish milestones for the phases?
   
   

10. Executing Process Group: Do the partners have sufficient financial capacity to keep up the benefits produced by the programme?

Results

With this Three Step process you will have all the tools you need for any API testing project with this in-depth API testing Toolkit.

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:


• Diagnose API testing projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices

• Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals

• Integrate recent advances in API testing and put process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines


Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make API testing investments work better.

This API testing All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
