Case details

How confident are you that your APIs can handle spurious inputs? Did you know a significant number of API security issues stem from inadequate input validation? What if I told you that you can test your API’s resilience—without writing any tests by hand —and instead just leverage your OpenAPI specifications to generate tests and run API resiliency tests on the fly? In this session, we’ll dive into how you can leverage your API specifications such as OpenAPI to generate edge-case tests inspired by mutation and property-based testing, validating both expected and unexpected scenarios effortlessly. Let your API spec do the heavy lifting—ensuring your APIs are not just functional, but also robust and secure.
