Presentation: "Test-Driven Web APIs"

Time: Wednesday 13:30 - 14:20

Location: Seacliff AB

Abstract: REST's hypermedia constraint is all about getting things done - that is, making changes to the state of an application to achieve a particular goal. Put simply, in a web-based hypermedia system, clients apply HTTP's uniform interface to operate links and forms in pursuit of their application goals.In this session we'll look at how we can develop and test discrete parts of a hypermedia-driven distributed system, both server-side resources and clients that can be guided on the fly to complete their application goals.
