Zusammenfassung:A method and system of determining whether a specification is an accurate representation of an application program interface (API) is provided. The specification is received electronically over a network. Service calls to be tested are identified based on the specification. A test case is created for each of the identified service calls. A sequence is created for the test cases. A test plan is generated based on the created sequence. The generated test plan is executed. Upon identifying an error in response to the executed test plan, a notification is generated, indicating that the specification is not an accurate representation of the API.
