Level Up Your Tests: Building Robust APIs With Minimal Effort

Prerequisites: - Github Account - ANY of the following IDEs: IntelliJ, VSCode - Maven: the example project uses maven to build the application In this workshop we will use free tools from Code Intelligence.This enables you to build on top of the learned with no costs even after the workshop. Building secure and reliable APIs is an essential and challenging endeavor. Traditional API testing approaches perform blackbox testing and test the application through the network. This is both slow and lacks deep insights into how the tested application handles API requests. Also, it happens late in the software development lifecycle as it requires a complete application deployment. In this workshop, you will learn hands-on how to integrate modern white-box testing into your development workflow using an example of a small Java Spring Boot application. What you will learn during the workshop: - Leverage the combination of dynamic testing with self-learning AI to uncover deep bugs, unexpected security vulnerabilities, reliability and quality issues in your software - Integrate modern testing into your development workflow so that you can benefit from IDE support for debugging and test coverage reporting. - Maximize your speed to value by integrating the shown methods into your CI pipeline to gain security insights with every code change and receive quick feedback needed to fix unexpected issues early in the lifecycle - Easily monitor your projects, prioritize and collaborate on your assessing and fixing found issues with your team and stakeholders
