API test automation for gaming application built on microservices architecture

Customer :

  • Customer is a well-known gaming application development company that creates popular online casino games.
  • The application consists of several microservices, each responsible for a specific function such as user authentication, game progress, and in-game purchases.
  • The company has a large user base and its games are played across multiple platforms, including web browsers, mobile devices, and gaming consoles. However, the company faced challenges in ensuring the quality of its gaming application APIs. To address this issue, the customer decided to adopt an automated API testing solution for all microservices.

Challenges :

  • Manual testing of APIs on the gaming application was a cumbersome and error-prone process that involved multiple teams, including developers, testers, and operations. This resulted in delays and inconsistencies.
  • The complex nature of the gaming application and its microservice APIs made it difficult to test all possible scenarios repeatedly and manually, leading to an increased likelihood of errors.
  • The process of manual testing requires more time and results in a longer release time.
  • The main challenge in automating the testing of microservices APIs is the complexity of the application.
  • The application consists of multiple microservices, each with its own API, and all of these APIs need to be tested individually and as part of the larger application.
  • Additionally, the APIs are constantly changing as new features are added or existing features are modified. This makes it difficult to maintain the test scripts and keep them up to date.
