SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USE IN CERTIFYING INTERACTIONS WITH HOSTED SERVICES

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for validating customer use of application programing interfaces (APIs). An exemplary computer-implemented method includes, in response to a request from a customer computing device for use of an API hosted by an API computing device, selecting a test case specific to the API for a test project and transmitting the test project to the customer computing device for execution by the customer computing device. The method also includes monitoring data payloads between the API computing device and the customer computing device and compiling and transmitting a report indicative of a result of the test case based on the monitored data payloads, where the report is indicative of whether the monitored data payloads are compliant with a standard associated with the API, thereby indicating certification of the customer's use of the API to provide at least one service associated with the API, or not.
