    Investigando Comunicabilidade e Testabilidade com a ferramenta Signifying APIs

    Data de publicação: 29/04/2021

    Given the diversity of information systems today, communication
    between services requires that APIs be well designed and understood
    by both services producers and consumers. Poorly documented
    APIs lead to misunderstandings by developers and testers
    teams who end up designing ineffective test cases. As a result, they
    may produce software with low quality and avoidable errors. This
    study investigates the ability of the SigniFYIng APIs tool to support
    the testability of the applications consuming APIs. In this paper, we
    proposed a process to support APIs’ testability with the SigniFYIng
    APIs tool. We validated the process with a real case study based
    on two Brazilian federal government APIs: the leniency agreement
    API and the federal servants API. As a result, it was possible to
    develop better test cases for the chosen APIs, bringing evidence
    that the proposed process can support designing more suitable test
    cases for APIs and improving the testability of the software to be
    produced.
