Case Study: Empowering Phyllo’s API infra with Efficient API Testing

Client Profile

Phyllo is a visionary tech company specializing API infra and providing universal API for creator data.

Client's Requirements

Phyllo faced several challenges in their testing process. First, the number of test cases exceeded 5,000, posing a significant challenge for performing both Sanity and Regression tests around each release. This massive test suite significantly extended the time required for release testing, often taking more than 10 days to complete. Understandably, the client aimed to optimize this process, reducing the release testing time to no more than two days. Therefore, they urgently needed to automate the test suites to streamline testing and accelerate the release process.

Our Solution

In response to Phyllo’s ambitious goals, we designed a comprehensive solution tailored to their unique needs. Our solution entailed the following steps:

  1.  Requirement Analysis: We meticulously analyzed the project requirements to gain a deep understanding of the API infra functionalities, features, and specific testing requirements.

  2. Tool Selection – ReadyAPI: Recognizing the project’s complexity and the importance of API testing, we recommended and utilized “ReadyAPI,” a powerful tool for API testing and automation.

  3. API Test Design: We meticulously designed a series of API tests to ensure that the API infra functioned as intended. These tests included onboarding verified creators, tracking content performance, etc.

  4. Project Execution: We executed the API testing systematically, ensuring that all critical functionalities were thoroughly examined and verified.

  5. Test Automation: To streamline testing processes and ensure ongoing quality assurance, we automated the API tests where applicable, facilitating efficient and repeatable testing.

  6. Comprehensive Validation: Our API testing covered crucial aspects of the application, including data access, and other functionalities, ensuring that the API infra delivered on its promise.

Key Outcomes

The API testing project for Phyllo’s API infra yielded significant outcomes:

  1. Efficient Test Automation: Automation of API tests streamlined the testing process, enabling efficient and repeatable testing procedures.

  2. Robust Infra: API testing validated the API infra, ensuring that it functioned seamlessly, with verified creators onboarded, content performance tracked, etc. effectively.

  3. Data Integrity: The testing process validated the integrity of data access, enabling companies to access creator data directly from source platforms.

  4. Seamless Functionality: The API infra was thoroughly tested to ensure that it seamlessly connects with creator platforms, maintains live data feeds, and provides normalized data sets for businesses to utilize.

Conclusion

Our API testing project for Phyllo underscores the critical role of thorough testing in delivering a robust and efficient API infra. By understanding the client’s vision, selecting suitable tools, designing and executing comprehensive API tests, and automation, we successfully addressed their challenges and contributed to their goal of creating a powerful platform for API infra. This case study highlights our dedication to delivering quality testing services in complex and demanding environments, ensuring the infra efficiency and effectiveness in meeting the needs of our clients.
