Detects API layer issues in our production environment before our customers do
Pros and Cons
  • "The feature of automatically executing tests at a predefined time interval is great as we can be continuously testing our end-points before and after builds are deployed."
  • "Reliability. I would like to see more money invested in disaster recovery testing of the application. The product should be hosted across several AWS regions so if there are issues with an EC2 instance in a particular region, the whole application won't be affected. Once or twice a year there are issues with AWS that causes the reliability of the application to suffer."
