Improving quality and efficiency of REST API development and maintenance based on “quick” API prototypes
October 20, 10:15
Room II
This presentation describes practices and approaches for improving efficiency of REST API development and maintenance for scaled enterprise solutions. Proposed approaches are developed and used for building a next generation modelling platform sdCloud and allow well synchronization of distributed engineering team.
In most cases when platform-oriented solution is developed, especially if it is a cloud-based solution, REST API became a very important contract between engineers who are working on a platform itself and wide range of client-like development activities which include but not limited to Web-UI development, mobile applications, integration API test and third-party teams doing an “early integration” with other products and systems. In such situation, synchronization and consistent API understanding became a critical aspect for the whole project success.
Target audience of this presentation are engineers, involved in development of high-scale enterprise solutions, both, at the engineering and QA ends.
