Testing is still the most arduous, painful, and expensive task within a DevOps practice, regardless of framework or approach. Why? Because the current approaches to testing and development are not focused on production. Production-Driven Development (PDD), allows for rapid iteration without sacrificing stability or confidence. Following PDD, a small team or single developer can launch an application in weeks that used to take multiple teams months or a year.

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are a crucial building block in modern software development, allowing applications to communicate with each other and share data consistently. APIs are used to exchange data inside and between organizations, and the widespread adoption of microservices and asynchronous patterns boosted API adoption inside the application itself.
