Build a framework
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
I am looking for research on how to build and maintain a comprehensive API
testing frame work that can be triggered any time a new feature is implemented. Gitlab allows us to
trigger pipelines in other repositories based on web hooks or events so we will leverage that. What I
have provided as an example is very basic and only pertains to one API.
For this task, what we need:
• What technology do we use to build our framework?
• How do we handle data - can we use TestContainers and create a smaller data set? If we use QA,
how do we test mutable operations (save, delete, update)?
• How do we manage the pipelines? What are the criteria for triggering a full API test (obviously we
don't want it on every single push)?
• How do we maintain this long term? Roles / responsibilities of developers, ownership, etc.
The ideal outcome of the two spikes would be a comprehensive plan that we can leverage to create
additional cards for individual developers to start adding tests to a new repository.
