contract-testing

API contract verification is automated by applying Microcks alongside OpenAPI and AsyncAPI specifications. This Skill parses the provided contracts to simulate API requests and automatically verify that responses conform to the defined schema.

To simulate API requests for contract testing, you provide your endpoint name and API specifications to generate test cases. The Skill executes these cases against the target endpoint and provides feedback on whether the API conforms to the contract.

Microcks can be used for contract testing across all stages of the API lifecycle, including design, testing, and delivery. It parses and verifies contracts using OpenAPI and AsyncAPI specifications throughout the development process.

To parse and verify API contracts, you need Microcks, openapi-generator, and jsonschema libraries installed. These dependencies are required to simulate requests and validate responses against the provided OpenAPI or AsyncAPI specifications.

The best way to verify microservice API contracts without manual checks is to automate the process using Microcks and OpenAPI/AsyncAPI specifications. This simulates interactions and validates responses directly against the contract to reduce integration errors.

AsyncAPI contract verification requires jsonschema to validate the structure of message payloads and openapi-generator to parse the specifications. Microcks uses these libraries to accurately simulate API requests and verify the responses.
