ABSTRACT:
A method for compatibility testing that includes executing a test suite to test an application programming interface (API) implementation, wherein the test suite comprises a plurality of compatibility tests that test the compatibility of the API implementation to an API specification. The method also includes requesting sample data for at least one test of the plurality of compatibility tests using a provider interface, wherein the sample data corresponds to the API implementation, and receiving the requested sample data from a provider, wherein the provider implements the provider interface. In addition, the method includes using the sample data by the at least one test to test the API implementation, receiving a result of the at least one test, and reporting a result of executing the test suite using the result of the at least one test.
