April 7, 2023 API Testing

Update from SolDevelo

• API Testing - status across BBs

• http://testing.govstack.global/

• App:

  • MVP of the testing app finished

• Tests:

  • Messaging BB API test harness - 2 waiting for review, 1 in progress, 1 more in to do

Further priorities

• API Testing Roadmap

• Messaging BB API

• Digital Registries BB APIs improvements

• New APIs from Registration BB

• Adding improvements to the testing app

  • This needs to include the version of both the software and the BB. Test results have to be specific to both versions.

  • Link to actual test run and the associated logs

    • Link to run on circle, at least. (assuming above is too expensive)

  • Adding info why the test is failing

  • Highlight the test in the table for which we are viewing the tests details

• USCT Use Case Registration Step - Review meeting on Tuesday

Embedded objects in Gherkin files

• We should deal with embedded objects in JS/Python

• We should avoid complicated structures in Gherkin files if we can to keep it simple

Versioning in testing app

• We need to figure out how do we want to pass the version

• We can add version to metadata as we agreed before to add name

• We can get BB version from github

  • We might need one more layer of hierarchy in BBs repos for testing so there are different folders for different versions

  • Then a new product can test the compliance against a specific version of a BB

• We also need to present the information about the version properly in the testing app

  • We need to update UI to include the version for both BB and software so user can easily indicate it
