API Testing following the Test Pyramid
summary
Pipeline blueprint that runs a health check first, then contract testing with JSON Schema, acceptance and functional stages, implemented as GitLab CI stages and Maven/TestNG/JUnit filters. Concrete Rest-Assured examples show request/response specs, JSON schema assertions, and data factories using JavaFaker; demo targets a loans API (CPF restriction flow). Claims faster feedback by short‑circuiting downstream tests when health or contract checks fail and provides code on the linked GitHub so the approach can be reproduced.
