Can this skill help prevent breaking changes?

Yes, by comparing new API implementations against existing contracts and specifications, the skill identifies discrepancies that could lead to breaking changes.

Do I need an existing OpenAPI file to use this?

While it works best with an existing specification for validation, the skill can also assist in generating tests based on API usage patterns.

Does this support CI/CD integration?

Yes, the contract tests and validation reports generated can be integrated into automated deployment pipelines to ensure API health.

What is Pact in the context of this skill?

Pact is a framework used for consumer-driven contract testing, which ensures that an API provider meets the exact requirements and expectations defined by its consumers.

Seguridad y Pruebas

Validates API contracts using consumer-driven testing and OpenAPI specifications to ensure seamless compatibility between providers and consumers.

Acerca de

The API Contract Validator skill empowers developers to maintain robust API ecosystems by implementing consumer-driven contract testing (CDCT) via Pact and OpenAPI validation. It automates the generation of Pact consumer tests and provider verification tests, checks for backward compatibility, and identifies breaking changes before they reach production. By ensuring that API providers strictly adhere to consumer expectations and formal specifications, this skill streamlines collaboration between frontend and backend teams and prevents integration failures in complex microservices architectures.
