Contract & schema testing
Versioned contract validation so breaking changes are caught in CI, not in a partner's incident channel.
Quality Engineering
Your APIs are your product. Test them like it.
UI tests exercise one happy path through an API that dozens of consumers hit in ways your UI never will. Contract drift, silent breaking changes, and unhandled error paths ship quietly — until an integration partner's production breaks on your release day.
API defects are multiplied defects: one broken endpoint fails every consumer at once, and the consumer's users blame the consumer. Integration partners remember whose release broke them.
What we do
Functional & negative testing
Beyond 200-OK: auth failures, malformed payloads, pagination edges, idempotency, and error-body correctness across REST, GraphQL, and event-driven services.
Integration-flow testing
Multi-service scenarios that mirror real consumer behavior — sequences, retries, and partial-failure handling, not isolated endpoint pokes.
Performance baselines
Latency and throughput baselines per endpoint, so regressions surface as numbers in a build, not complaints in production.
How it’s delivered
01
Inventory
Map the API surface, consumers, and contracts — including the undocumented endpoints.
02
Design
Coverage plan by endpoint criticality; agree what CI gates on.
03
Automate
Suites built in your stack, running against every build.
04
Baseline
Performance and contract baselines tracked release over release.
Tools & standards
- Frameworks our engineers work in
- Postman/Newman, REST Assured, Playwright API, k6
- Contract & schema
- OpenAPI/Swagger validation, GraphQL schema checks
What you receive
- An automated API regression suite in your CI
- Contract validation gates that catch breaking changes pre-release
- Endpoint-level coverage and latency baselines
- Defect reports with request/response evidence and repro scripts
Who this is for
- Platform teams whose APIs have more consumers than their test suite has cases
- Product companies whose partners integrate against versioned public APIs
- Teams adopting microservices and discovering integration defects the hard way
