Quapi - Quality APIs

What is Quapi

At The AS Network we have developed a process that turns paper and process assets (IP) into a digital framework made up of blueprints that are available on demand. Blueprints are a reusable bundle of electronic tests, actions and configuration information that combine to manage a company’s infrastructure.Quapi allows applications to be produced:
  • At a reduced cost
  • In a shorter time frame
  • That are robust and easy to secure.
Quapi conducts tests, takes actions, keeps records and manages the environment through an online SaaS portal. It uses blueprints, plans built from documentation and snapshots of functional and non-functional requirements. The blueprints developed for a business can be scheduled to run unattended on a regular or adhoc basis to make sure they are available and secure throughout the full lifecycle of the application.

How it works

Quapi is a testing and automation expert system that monitors and manages IT infrastructure
Non technical language

Quapi blueprints are written in plain English Gherkin.
Gherkin can be written by an analyst, scrum master, SME or product manager.

Re-usable tests

Quapi test can be written to run against a database of credentials, endpoints, and variables.
A security expert can design a test to check for certificate credentials, and make it available to a project to run against their end points.

Blueprints

A set of tests, actions and configuration information.
These are combined into a tree structure allowing SMEs to build and organise a library of predefined tests and actions.

Decision and actions

Quapi can make decisions and perform actions dependent on a test outcome.
For example: If a test fails Quapi could fix it, log a configuration change, order a certificate or alert a security specialist.

Test history

Quapi keeps the results of all tests in a statistical database.
Identifying exactly when errors were introduced and keeping track of a project's progress to release.

SaaS

All logic and information is available in the cloud, allowing it to be running in minutes.
Specific location dependent tests can be executed on “Runners” that can be anywhere, including on a laptop.

Quapi in action

Running a development script

A screen shot after Quapi ran a deployment script (like Jenkins). The tasks completed were

  1. 1. Created and deployed an API proxy.
  2. 2. Got and deployed a security key.
  3. 3. Created and deployed a SSL certificate.
  4. 4. Intalled Node.js for the application to use.

The status of the task is shown by either a green tick (successful) or a red cross (unsuccessful).

The time taken to complete displays next to each task.

A summary displays at the bottom of the screen

Real time monitoring

Quapi in action QA documentation

A screen shot after Quapi audited an environment and produced a report

Quapi ran a test for an API to check if it was set up correctly

Test:The test conducted is outlined at the top of the screen. Quapi called the API AV Scan – Non Production in non production.
The response should have been 200.

Results:Results: The API call failed because oauth was not found and therefore the API didn’t get the right credentials and returned a 404 error code not a 200 success code.
