Implementing Oracle API Platform Cloud Service

By: Andrew Bell, Sander Rensen, Luis Weir, Phil Wilkins

Overview of this book

Implementing Oracle API Platform Cloud Service moves from theory to practice using the newest Oracle API management platform. This critical new platform for Oracle developers allows you to interface the complex array of services your clients expect in the modern world. First, you'll learn about Oracle’s new platform and get an overview of it, then you'll see a use case showing the functionality and use of this new platform for Oracle customers. Next, you’ll see the power of Apiary and begin designing your own APIs. From there, you’ll build and run microservices and set up the Oracle API gateways. Moving on, you’ll discover how to customize the developer portal and publish your own APIs. You’ll spend time looking at configuration management on the new platform, and implementing the Oauth 2.0 policy, as well as custom policies. The latest finance modules from Oracle will be examined, with some of the third party alternatives in sight as well. This broad-scoped book completes your journey with a clear examination of how to transition APIs from Oracle API Management 12c to the new Oracle API Platform, so that you can step into the future confidently.

Testing APIs with API Fortress

The previous chapter explained the implementation of the Media Catalogue API and the importance of configuring policies to ensure information is logged, secured and routed accordingly to the back-end Microservice implementation.

In this chapter the Media Catalogue API is going to be put to the test using API Fortress. The chapter starts by walking through the key features of API Fortress and illustrate some of these features in more detail including a run through of how test conditions can be created from an existing Postman collection and Apiary document.

The chapter continues to explain how to add new test assertions, and how to transfer the result of one test case to be used as the input in another.

The chapter concludes with running the test cases in a Continues Delivery setup using the Jenkins plugin.
