Demystifying API Lifecycle: Unpacking Essential Roles, Responsibilities and Their Challenges
APIs are the invisible glue of modern digital ecosystems – powering microservices, enabling integrations, and accelerating innovation. But building and scaling successful APIs takes more than clean code, good documentation and enterprise governance. It requires a deep understanding of the API lifecycle from both provider and consumer perspectives, and the
What Users say about Specmatic
"Specmatic helped us build an executable deliverable based on the API Contract."
Nitin Supekar
Consulting Software Architect
"Our earlier attempts made use of Postman mocks, but we soon realised that solves a slightly different problem. We saw some holes in the tool chain that we want and Specmatic covers that."
Shivakumar Ramagopal
Group Engineering Manager: AJIO
"Use Specmatic if you need to agree with another team about your shared expectations of the API. It's a well documented tool. It's straightforward to add to your build."
Emily Bache
Technical Coach at Bache Consulting
"It's an awesome tool! I'm a big fan of Specmatic and how it tackles contract testing because I'm a big fan of using the standard OpenAPI specification."

Harness API Specifications as Executable Contracts
Specmatic supercharges your API Specifications by leveraging them as “Executable Contracts”. Specmatic does this by:
Intelligent Service Virtualization
Allows Consumer Application Development and Testing to progress independent of the Provider Application
API Specifications as Contract Tests
Generates Tests based on the API Specification File without you having to write any code
Contract as Test
Tests for Free – Specmatic parses your API Specification files and based on this generates requests which are fired at your application. It then verifies if your application’s response is as per your API Specification. All this with a “No Code” approach.
Positive Tests
Verify if the API implementation meets basic criteria as per your API Specification
Negative Tests
Verify boundary conditions to identify error handling, unexpected behaviour, etc.
Contract as Mock
A component test setup should be able to isolate the “System Under Test” from its dependencies. Intelligent Service Virtuatlization enables you to achieve this by truly emulating the dependencies.
Intelligent Service Virtualization
Allows Consumer Application Development and Testing to progress independent of the Provider Application
Static and Dynamic Mocking
Expectations can be set either at startup or dynamically at runtime (for workflow testing) through an http endpoint
Backward Compatibility
As API Specifcation authors / API designers it is important for us understand if our changes to existing APIs can break compatibility with existing API Consumers / Clients.
Specmatic can perform “Contract vs Contract” testing between two versions of your API Specification file and provide accurate results about backward compatibility breaking changes. Since this is a completely “No Code” capability, you do not have to write any code on the API Client or Service Applications.

Treat Contract as Code
Specmatic promotes treating your API Specifications as code and storing them in a Version Control System where they truly belong.
Central Contract Repo
The “Single Source of Truth” for all your API Specifications so that stakeholders across the organization are on the same page.
Pull/Merge Request based Collaboration
Specmatic can help you identify backward compatibility breaking changes automatically as part of your pre-merge checks so that you can focus on API design.
