Abstract

An API testing component is provided that is configured to deploy test suites to one or more test virtual machine instances. The test suites include an API test. The API tests are periodically executed on the test virtual machine instances, and test results generated by the API tests are collected and stored. The API testing component also provides a user interface for viewing the test results using a user interface specification that defines a visual layout for presenting test results generated by one or more test suites. The API testing component might also generate one or more alarm messages utilizing the test results and an alarm specification.
