FAQPage Schema
How do I validate my API implementation against an OpenAPI specification?▼

To validate an API against an OpenAPI specification, run the validation workflow to verify conformance, apply schema checks, and detect contract drift between your backend services and definitions.

What is contract testing and when do I need it for microservices?▼

Contract testing verifies that microservices adhere to defined API contracts. It is needed during CI/CD pipelines and consumer integration to ensure backend services conform to OpenAPI specifications and prevent regressions.

Can I use this for schema validation and regression checks in a CI/CD pipeline?▼

Yes, you can use this for schema validation and regression checks in a CI/CD pipeline to ensure backend services adhere to defined contracts and detect contract drift during continuous integration.

Does API validation support test generation from Swagger definitions?▼

Yes, API validation supports test generation from OpenAPI and Swagger definitions. It applies schema validation and generates tests to verify backend service conformance to the defined contracts.

What's the best way to detect contract drift in backend services?▼

The best way to detect contract drift is running API validation workflows against OpenAPI definitions. This performs schema checks and regression tests to confirm backend implementations conform to defined contracts.
