LSO API Test Service
MEF’s LSO API Test Service offers an efficient, predictable, and scalable solution for Providers to test the compliance of their LSO Sonata/Cantata implementation and perform pre‑interop testing with partners at any time.
The solution consists of MEF LSO Sonata/Cantata Buyer and Seller software‑based emulators, hosted on a dedicated public cloud server for each subscriber. The emulators are based on nBrace™, Amartus’ standards based inter‑provider automation software for negotiating products and services.
LSO API Certification Service
MEF’s LSO API Certification program enables buyers and sellers of API-enabled services to validate that their suite of APIs used for business transactions conforms to MEF standards.
LSO API Certification provides third-party validation of the service provider’s API implementation, which enables the service provider to distinguish its services in the market and provide a higher visibility of validated API implementations.
- Gain familiarity with LSO Sonata/Cantata APIs by running default configurations to test requests and responses for different product payloads.
- Perform self-assessment during LSO Sonata/Cantata API implementation by testing against the LSO API Test Service Sonata/Cantata reference implementations.
