Write readable integration tests that exclusively call Web APIs

For the kind of work that I do, web API integration testing isn't just a simple matter of calling an API and verifying that I get the expected result, rather it's actually a workflow. For example, instead of setting up all the prerequisite data to conduct a single API test, the API itself is enlisted to do help with the data setup. Furthermore, the user's workflow is then tested which requires calling multiple endpoints sequentially.

All my life I have been passionate about architecture / software design, as this is the cornerstone to a maintainable and extensible application. As such, I have enjoyed exploring some crazy ideas and discovering that they are not so crazy after all. I also love writing about my ideas and seeing the community response. As a consultant, I've enjoyed working in a wide range of industries such as aerospace, boatyard management, remote sensing, emergency services / data management, and casino operations. I've done a variety of pro-bono work non-profit organizations related to nature conservancy, drug recovery and women's health.
