Building and testing an API with AI - with Bas Dijkstra

APIs are the glue of the Internet these days. In 2022, API calls were responsible for 83% of all Internet traffic, and that number is not likely to decrease any time soon. Knowing how to build and test APIs is therefore essential knowledge for every development team.

To speed up that development and testing process, we can make use of the powers provided to us by LLMs, but only if we know what we’re doing and if we’re able to stay in control.

In this workshop, we are going to design, develop and test an API with several endpoints in a highly iterative manner, all with the help of AI. Every iteration brings a new challenge, new tasks to complete and new tests and test types to consider and execute.

In this way, we’ll incrementally build a comprehensive API testing strategy, and learn more about good practices for API design and development in the process. Along the way, you’ll learn how AI can help you build and test your API faster, while you remain in control of what is built and how it is tested.
