About this session

In the current situation of increased remote working, having a common, easier to understand medium of communication such as an OpenAPI spec document is indispensable.

Things get exciting when this so-called document can serve as a contract, generate clients, servers, documentation, help you build APIs and validate them!

When this OpenAPI document can also: – Put your developers, clients and client’s developers first! – Have Automatic, Fail-fast, API Contract Validation! – Be Cross-Platform and Language Agnostic! – Generate clients, servers, and documentation from OpenAPI specs in a plethora of languages! – Simplify communication by means of a common document in YAML or JSON! – Speed up development, prototyping, R&D, etc.! – Reduce costs! Using contract tests in conjunction with (or as a replacement for) traditional end-to-end integration tests will be cheaper in the long run. … things get even more interesting…

In the end we will tie this whole thing neatly in a knot in a LIVE DEMO.

Come at our talk and find out more!
