Monitoring the Untestable – An Open Banking White Paper from APIContext
How to achieve continuous quality assurance for APIs that can't be unit tested.
Open Banking APIs under PSD2 are not easily testable with conventional unit or integration testing approaches. They require real credentials, regulated authentication flows, and external measurement to verify that they are working as required.
This white paper explores the monitoring challenge that PSD2 creates, the gaps that conventional testing approaches leave, and how active monitoring from external vantage points provides the continuous quality assurance that regulated Open Banking environments require.
It is an essential reference for teams responsible for PSD2 compliance and Open Banking API quality.
