About this talk
In this presentation, I want to show how developers can minimise the risk of API integration failures by using documentation-driven development. Documentation-driven development is an approach where we first write the API documentation, and then we validate the API implementation against the specification. This approach helps us create a more robust software delivery process for our APIs. I’ll show useful tools and frameworks, such as Dredd, that can help us automatically generate tests that validate our APIs.
