- Abstract
- The technique of building automation systems for testing and documenting the API of the server component of the web service, which is of great relevance in the implementation of distributed systems, is considered. The types of testing for connection points (endpoints) of the architecture of building RESTful API web services and their main differences are described. The concept of the Shift Left strategy is interpreted in relation to the organization of the software testing process. The requirements for automated testing tools for the server component of the web service are formed. Methods of documenting the API of the server component are presented and a set of factors that determine the most effective approach to automating the documentation of the API are highlighted. A comparative analysis of automated testing tools and server API documentation is performed. An example of using specialized software to automate testing and documentation of the server component is considered. A parallel is drawn between the requirements for automated testing tools, documentation, and the functionality provided by the Postman application to automate testing and documentation.
