Overview

Artifact types

Xapi organizations enable systematically evolving your [APIs and API models] by incorporating:

• New Features: To add new features to APIs/API models. Test
• Improvements: To enhance existing API/API model features, e.g., UI changes, code refactoring, and algorithm changes.
• Bug Fixes: To fix existing API/API model issues.

How it works

1. Artifact creation: Organization/project members can lodge expected API/API model changes as tickets called, Xapi API artifacts.
2. Artifact assigning: Permitted members can assign tickets to team members.
3. Artifact processing: Ticket assignees can start working on API/API model change as per the ticket description in a dedicated development branch.

Benefits

Processing each artifact on a dedicated development branch enables:

• API evolution in a controlled and systematic manner
• Parallely processing multiple artifacts indepedently
• Minimizing conflicts and disruptions to existing functionality
• Tracking API eveolution
• Ability to revert changes (if needed)
