Backend configuration

OK, if you’re here, we assume that you have completed the very basic account setting and frontend configuration process first.

Advantages of configuring the backend for Yesbot

Configuring your backend will allow the Yesbot platform to gather more information about your code, and also, if your backend is using persistence technologies supported by the Yesbot platform. This will allow :

• Tests generation from APIs endpoints auto-exploration : Yesbot client module will add endpoints in order to list all you backend’s exposed endpoints. Then the tests engines of the platform will create automatically tests cases to test your backend’,’s endpoints with trivial calls.
• Idempotent tests with data writing : Yesbot client module will allow to pilot your backend,s database in order to create tests on your data-modifying endpoints, without you having to manage manually your testing database’s state.

Technological prerequisites

For now Yesbot only supports certain technologies for your backend :

For auto-exploration

• Java
• Maven

For Idempotent tests

• Mysql database

Example

We’ll present you an API backend example made with java, Spring boot and mysql.
