Results
If this is the first time you try your API, a new project is created in Talend Cloud API Tester. The project name contains the API name and version, you can therefore have separate projects for each version of an API.
The project contains pre-configured requests based on what was described in your API contract. You can now use these requests to build test scenarios for your API.
If you have already tested this API version, your Talend Cloud API Tester test project will be updated with any changes you made on your contract. This means you can iterate on your designs and your tests while keeping everything up to date.
