Let’s walk through the process of implementing an event-driven API using AsyncAPI, a specification for defining asynchronous APIs. We’ll also introduce Bump.sh, a tool for documenting and tracking event-driven APIs lifecycle/changes, and demonstrate how you can use it in conjunction with AsyncAPI files.

Bump.sh is a tool that's swiftly gaining popularity as it combines many of the best features from the previous five entries in this roundup.

With Bump, you can easily track changes within your API documentation, between different versions. We wanted to give a glimpse of the magic behind Bump, with a tool that could compare two versions of an API: API Diff.

👋 Fernando, We are providing an API documentation generation tool at Bump, based on the OpenAPI specification. Feel free to give it a look and reach out to me if you need, I'd be happy to help :).

If you use Github Actions to launch your automation workflows, we have some more good news for you: we now offer a stable bump-sh/github-action@v1 action. And this release includes automatic API contract changelog pushed as a comment for each pull request.

Swagger is a fantastic open-source toolset that's perfect for developing and describing RESTful APIs. It offers you a user-friendly interface to understand a service's capabilities without needing to dig into the code. It even provides a way for you to interact directly with the API, which means you get to test its functionality.

The API had an OpenAPI endpoint built with Swagger where I could download a JSON specification file for the API.

Swagger is a widely used tool for documenting and testing APIs.

Swagger is an open-source software framework that implements the OpenAPI Specification—an API description format for REST APIs. The OpenAPI Specification defines a standard, language-agnostic interface to HTTP APIs, enabling both humans and computers to discover and understand the capabilities of the API.

Mocking and Testing: Once the API design is complete, developers create mock APIs to simulate the behavior of the actual services. This early testing phase helps identify any issues or mismatches between design and implementation before substantial development efforts are invested. Tools like Postman or Swagger are invaluable for API testing and validation.

import fp from "fastify-plugin"; import swagger from "@fastify/swagger"; export default fp(async (fastify) => { fastify.register(swagger, { openapi: { info: { tags: [ { name: "drinks", description: "Drink-related endpoints", externalDocs: { description: "Find out more", url: "http://swagger.io", }, }, ], }, }, }); });

A very requested feature for Sharkio was the auto-generation of OpenAPI documentation using the recorded HTTP requests - to create standardized documentation.

Automation QA is a lot of the same duties as manual QA, but instead of writing and executing the test plans manually, we create and update automated tests that can run those validations programmatically, for example by using Selenium to automatically fill out and submit forms for a web application, or using Postman and/or Swagger to generate an API conversation test.
