Software Testing

Structured-data tools earn their keep in testing just as much as in day-to-day development. A few places they help most:

  • Validating fixtures and sample payloads before they ever reach a test suite, so a bad fixture doesn't masquerade as a real test failure.
  • Generating deterministic, repeatable test data instead of hand-crafting it each time.
  • Asserting API responses against a JSON Schema, so a contract change is caught by the test, not by a user.
  • Catching malformed configuration early, before it reaches a staging or production environment.
