In an era where digital transformations drive business value, the importance of developing consistent, scalable, and robust APIs cannot be overstated. As teams expand and projects multiply, maintaining a unified API design can pose significant challenges. This presentation delves into the powerful combination of linting and reusable models as tools to navigate these challenges and ensure consistency across large-scale API designs.
We will explore API linting using the open-source Spectral project to enable teams to identify and rectify inconsistencies during design. In tandem we will navigate the need for reusable models, recognizing that the best specification is the one you don't have to write or lint at all! These two approaches not only facilitate the smooth integration of services but also foster collaboration across teams by providing a shared, consistent foundation.

Keploy. has become one of the popular tools for software end to end testing. If you can test your application with enough time to market that, this is what you're likely to use.
In this talk, we will classify end to end testing and discuss application areas for Keploy and traditional testing framework, and discuss which tool to choose for each use-case. And why not both? We will discuss using Keploy side by side with existing testcases to get even higher coverage with real-time based edge scenarios.
P.S: We will focus on enterprise grade application with Node, Java, but the same approaches can be used everywhere since Keploy is language agnostic.

In the evolving landscape of enterprise technology, the traditional approach of building separate API platforms is no longer sustainable. Instead, integrating API management and capabilities into a comprehensive Internal Developer Platform (IDP) ensures greater agility, efficiency, and coherence in software development. This session explores the pitfalls of isolated API platforms and presents a compelling case for their integration into IDPs. By emphasizing modularity, discovery, and composability, this unified approach can streamline workflows and enhance developer productivity. Drawing from the principles of the Platformless Manifesto, practical strategies, architectural considerations, and real-world examples will illustrate the benefits of this integrated methodology.

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the tech landscape, the most pressing question emerges: Has AI fundamentally altered the realm of API testing? Join us for a dynamic panel discussion where our experts—Arthur and Renata—will delve into the merits and limitations of AI-driven testing versus traditional, human-led approaches. They will cover the topic of how quality and engineering organizations are fundamentally evolving during this time where AI seems to be a hype that is driving a sea change in our world of API first development.
Moderated by a seasoned industry professional, Joanna Schloss, this session will explore key points of contention, including:
Can AI truly replicate the intuition of experienced testers in identifying edge cases?
How do AI-generated test cases compare to manually crafted ones in terms of coverage and reliability?
What are the practical challenges of integrating AI testing tools into existing development workflows?
We will also examine how the rise of AI testing impacts the roles of QA professionals and developers. Engage in this interesting and timely debate as we consider whether API testing is evolving or facing extinction in the age of AI. Don’t miss the opportunity to weigh in on the future of quality assurance!

Wilhelm Haaker, Parasoft, Director, Solution Engineering, Functional
Continuous testing serves as the cornerstone for modern software development, facilitating the rapid delivery of high-quality software. Yet, as projects grow in complexity and testing scope, achieving the delicate balance between frequent releases and uncompromised quality becomes increasingly challenging. The methodology of short development iterations often clashes with the necessity of rigorous regression testing, threatening to erode the foundation of continuous testing.
In this session, we’ll discuss how to overcome the hurdles that impede achieving continuous testing at scale. Drawing from industry experience and best practices, we’ll tackle:
Too many UI tests. Explore innovative approaches to reduce dependence on UI testing, optimizing test coverage across the SDLC for efficiency and reliability.
Too many tests in general. Reduce the constantly increasing weight of regression tests that compromise QA's ability to keep up with development by adopting strategies that uphold testing effectiveness without sacrificing velocity.
Test environment constraints. Confront the challenges stemming from test environment availability and controllability through the strategic application of service virtualization.
Join us as we unravel the intricacies of continuous testing at scale, equipping your team with the tools and insights necessary to embrace a paradigm shift toward accelerated delivery without compromising on quality.

Matthew Bae, Deloitte, Specialist Lead in API & Integration Offering
Modern integration techniques, typically implemented through APIs and Microservices, play a pivotal role in propelling digital transformation initiatives. These deployments often occur in highly distributed environments, where a large number of small APIs and Microservices are simultaneously developed by different teams.
This simultaneous development can present challenges such as coordination among teams and delays due to waiting for other teams' completion. Overcoming these challenges requires distributed development techniques like design-first approaches and test-driven methodologies. In these methods, interface specifications written in a common structured language serve as the "contract" to manage interface agreements between applications. These interface contracts, which are machine-readable, and version controlled, facilitate trust among teams and allow parallel development and testing of applications in an early stage of the application development lifecycle. The contracts also aid in dependency management, planning for integrated testing, and releases of all related APIs and Microservices.
This session discusses a GenAI-assisted solution to standardize the development of API specifications, and automate the publishing of versioned, traceable API documentation in an API catalog portal. This pro

Madhusudhan Reddy, Imperva, Sr. Product Manager for Runtime Application Self Protection (RASP) and API Security
It is becoming more common for practitioners of API Security Testing to leverage runtime data to enhance their capability to discover business logic and API specific vulnerabilities. While runtime data are critical to overcome the limitation of static analysis, the data collection itself can raise real concerns over data privacy protection, especially when it can be seen as a breach of the compartmentalization between runtime and dev environments. In this talk you will learn best practices for the runtime API Security component to generate tests without jeopardizing data.
