API Quality Scoring
Cloud API Service Consistency (CASC) scoring makes it easy to understand API quality.
Many metrics can be used to understand API quality. But too many metrics lead to confusion. Our Cloud API Service Consistency (CASC) score provides a single number, out of 10, that shows how well any API is functioning. Simple and clear.
The Cost Of Poor Performance
Through deep analysis of our customers’ performance, we’ve been able to identify the cost of poorly performing APIs to your enterprise.
| CASC Score | Monthly Incidents/Endpoint | Overhead Annually (Avg.) |
|---|---|---|
9+ |
1-4 Typically Minor | Up to 400 hrs/yr |
8+ |
2-8 Minor, but Occasionally Serious | Up to 800 hrs/yr |
7+ |
4-12 Needs Attention | Up to 1,200 hrs/day |
<6 |
12+ Unacceptable Performance | 2,000+ hrs/yr |
Meaningful Comparisons
The CASC score takes into consideration performance trends over time using our patented monitoring technology. See issues at a glance and spot trends that might not be obvious from other analysis.
Performance Outlier Detection
A comprehensive score for your APIs
Think of the CASC score like a combination of an API speed test and a credit rating. We take all the metrics we have for your API, blend them together, then compare the result against our unrivaled dataset of historical API speed test records. This gives us a single number that’s benchmarked against all the other APIs monitored by APIContext, and continuously updated.
Real API Calls
Handle GET, PUT, POST, DELETE and more – any type of HTTP request – in our similar call manager.
Validate Responses
Set conditions. Override expected HTTP return codes for 200 failures. Set variables on a test or global basis.
Functional Security
Fully integrated security manager for API Keys & OAuth including JWT and JWS. Test scopes and token validity.
Trend Analysis
Identify and spot trends with individual or collections of APIs with a simple, single score. Changes can be communicated quickly to all stakeholders without any ambiguity.
Comparisons
