In today's fast-paced technological landscape, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are the backbone of modern software systems. They enable seamless communication between diverse applications, driving innovation and efficiency across various industries. As the reliance on APIs grows, so does the need for robust and efficient API test automation frameworks to ensure their reliability, performance, and security. This book, Optimizing Performance: Designing API Test Automation Frameworks, aims to guide you through the process of building and optimizing these frameworks. This book provides a structured approach to understanding and implementing API test automation. Starting with the core concepts and essential tools, it lays the foundation for building effective frameworks. Emphasis is placed on critical design patterns and principles, ensuring that your framework is not only functional but also scalable and maintainable. The practical aspects of setting up your development environment, integrating tools, and constructing core components are covered in detail. Hands-on guidance is provided for implementing key features such as logging, reporting, and handling authentication. The book also explores advanced features and enhancements to keep your framework cutting-edge. A significant focus is placed on integrating your API test automation framework with Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. This integration is vital for automating test execution and streamlining the development process, enabling teams to deliver high-quality software efficiently.

This edition of Supply Chain Management (SCM) was revised to appeal to a wider readership besides students taking SCM courses. Global supply chain managers and researchers in the fields of SCM and operations strategy would find it a useful reference. Rather than discuss the technical issues of SCM, the book focuses on the strategic perspectives and approaches of SCM. Students learn to identify SCM issues from the top management's perspective. The book also presents real-world managerial problems and incorporates case studies for connecting theories with practices. By exploring the fundamental issues of SCM, managers acquire a new learning perspective that enables them to solve problems in a more sustainable and innovative manner rather than use short-term, ad hoc solutions. Finally, it distils various theoretical concepts to allow researchers to observe real SCM issues in a managerial context which allows for practical, meaningful and impactful research to be carried out.

Presenting an alternate approach to supply chain management, Lean Supply Chain Management Essentials: A Framework for Materials Managers explains why the traditional materials planning environment, typically embodied by an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, is an ineffective support system for a company that wants to adopt Lean practices.
