APIs Testing and development: stakes and recommendations.

In our highly competitive and disruptive digital-driven world, where API management vendors are building out their platforms to address as many of the capabilities required to manage API lifecycles as possible, where the necessity of testing for enabling quality code is required, where APIs represent new revenues streams, Connectikpeople.co  recommends a fully integrated, extensible, flexible, secure and affordable platform to help development, testing and operations teams build reliable, scalable and secure APIs. 

Partnerships and alliances with third parties to enable high-quality API testing represent a trustworthy sign of maturity.  A platform that creates a sandbox, within which virtual versions of APIs that behave differently can be tested under varying conditions, is welcome.   

SmartBear has captured our attention with its ability to focus on what matters most.

SmartBear added Ready! API to its product portfolio in September 2014. Ready! API is built around SoapUI, an open source technology for service-oriented architecture (SOA) and REST-based Web services testing, acquired by SmartBear in 2011.

 Ready! API is a fully integrated, extensible and affordable platform to help development, testing and operations teams build reliable, scalable and secure APIs. SmartBear has partnered with 3scale, Apiary, MuleSoft and Swagger, among others. 

According to, 451 Research, “a notable capability of Ready! API (and a valuable feature needed for API testing) is found in ServiceV Pro. It inter alia simulates conditions for APIs without affecting development or production platforms.
