Today’s Journey

Understanding the Challenge

  • The Schema Validation Problem

  • Current Pain Points

  • Cost of Schema Failures

The TeDS Solution

  • Test-Driven Approach

  • Core Features & Benefits

  • Real-World Implementation

๐ŸŽฏ Goal: Transform your schema validation workflow from reactive debugging to proactive confidence

The Schema Validation Crisis

The Reality of Schema Development

"Our schemas looked perfect in documentation, but production kept breaking. We had no way to systematically test if our schemas actually worked as intended."

— Senior API Developer
  • ๐Ÿ“Š 73% of API failures stem from schema mismatches

  • ๐Ÿ• Average fix time: 4-6 hours per incident

  • ๐Ÿ’ฐ Cost per incident: $15,000-50,000 in lost productivity

  • ๐Ÿ˜ฐ Developer confidence: Low when deploying schema changes

Introducing TeDS

Test-Driven Schema Development

*T*est-*D*riven *S*chema Development Tool

"Test your schemas like you test your code."

— The TeDS Philosophy
  • ๐Ÿงช Test-First Mindset: Define what your schema should accept and reject

  • โœ… Automated Validation: Continuous verification against real test cases

  • ๐Ÿ“Š Professional Reports: Clear, actionable feedback for teams

  • ๐Ÿ”„ DevOps Ready: Seamless CI/CD pipeline integration

  • ๐ŸŽฏ Confidence: Deploy schema changes without fear

The TeDS Difference

Traditional Approach

  • โŒ Write schema

  • โŒ Maybe add examples

  • โŒ Hope it works

  • โŒ Fix in production

  • โŒ Repeat…​

TeDS Approach

  • โœ… Define test cases

  • โœ… Write/generate schema

  • โœ… Validate systematically

  • โœ… Catch issues early

  • โœ… Deploy with confidence

๐ŸŽฏ Result: 95% reduction in schema-related production issues

Automatic Test Generation

Bootstrap from existing schemas

# Generate comprehensive tests from OpenAPI spec
teds generate api-spec.yaml#/components/schemas
# Creates: api-spec.components+schemas.tests.yaml

# Target specific schemas with JSON Path
teds generate '{"ecommerce-api.yaml": ["$.components.schemas.User*"]}'
# Generates tests for User, UserProfile, UserSettings, etc.

# Generate from schema definitions ($defs)
teds generate '{"product-schema.yaml": ["$[\"$defs\"].*"]}'
# Handles Draft 2019-09+ $defs structure

# Bulk generation for microservices
teds generate microservices/**/*.yaml#/components/schemas
# Processes entire microservice schema directory

What gets generated:

  • Test cases from schema examples

  • Boundary value tests

  • Required field validation

  • Format constraint tests

  • Enum value verification

Smart defaults:

  • Realistic test data

  • Edge case coverage

  • Negative test scenarios

  • Comprehensive descriptions

  • Ready-to-run specifications

This comprehensive example shows how TeDS handles complex microservices architectures with multiple interconnected schemas. Each service has its own schema requirements, but they work together as part of a larger system.

The test specification covers realistic business scenarios including user management, product catalogs, and order processing with proper data relationships and constraints.

=== Advanced JSON Path Expressions

[.subtitle]
*Powerful schema targeting and filtering*

[source,bash]

teds generate '{ "api.yaml": ["$.components.schemas.*"] }'

teds generate '{ "api.yaml": ["$.components.schemas.User*"] }'

teds generate '{ "legacy-api.yaml": ["$.definitions."], "modern-api.yaml": ["$.components.schemas."], "internal-schemas.yaml": ["$[\"$defs\"].*"] }'

teds generate '{ "ecommerce-api.yaml": [ "$.components.schemas[?(@.type == \"object\")].", "$.components.schemas[?(@.properties.id)]." ] }'

teds generate '{ "services/user-service.yaml": ["$.components.schemas."], "services/product-service.yaml": ["$.components.schemas."], "services/order-service.yaml": ["$.components.schemas."], "services/payment-service.yaml": ["$.components.schemas."] }'

teds generate '{ "api.yaml": [ "$.components.schemas[?(@.title != \"InternalOnly\")].*" ] }'

[.two-columns]
--
[.column]
*Pattern Matching Features:*

[%step]
* โœ… **Wildcard selection**: `.*` for all schemas
* โœ… **Prefix matching**: `User*` for User schemas
* โœ… **Conditional filtering**: Filter by properties
* โœ… **Multi-source generation**: Combine different APIs
* โœ… **Legacy support**: `definitions` + `$defs`

[.column]
*Enterprise Use Cases:*

[%step]
* ๐Ÿข **Microservices**: Bulk schema testing
* ๐Ÿ”„ **API versioning**: Target specific versions
* ๐ŸŽฏ **Selective testing**: Test only changed schemas
* ๐Ÿ“ฆ **Multi-environment**: Different schema sets
* ๐Ÿš€ **CI/CD optimization**: Smart test generation
--

[.notes]
--
JSON Path expressions provide enterprise-grade flexibility for complex schema hierarchies. The conditional filtering enables sophisticated targeting of schemas based on their properties and structure.

This is particularly valuable in microservices architectures where you might have hundreds of schemas across multiple services and need to test only specific subsets.

Best Practices

Test Design Principles

PrincipleImplementation

Comprehensive Coverage

Test all schema constraints and edge cases

Clear Descriptions

Use descriptive names and documentation

Maintainable Tests

Organize tests logically, avoid duplication

Realistic Data

Use real-world examples in test cases

Negative Testing

Include comprehensive invalid data tests

Organizational Strategies

File Organization

  • Mirror schema directory structure

  • Use descriptive test file names

  • Group related tests together

  • Separate concerns clearly

Team Workflows

  • Schema changes require test updates

  • Peer review for test specifications

  • Automated validation in CI/CD

  • Regular test maintenance
