Introduction📃

API stands for Application Programming Interface that allows two or more computer applications to communicate with one another. It is a software interface that provides a service to other software programs. An API specification is a document or industry standard that outlines how to create or use a connection or interface of this type.

API

In this blog, we will learn about the ReadyAPI dashboard.

ReadyAPI Dashboard 📜

ReadyAPI Dashboard is an easily accessible site where you may view up-to-date information about the tests you've run. It contains interactive tiles to which you may apply different filters to analyze your data thoroughly. Additionally, the Dashboard offers you numerous connections that will enable you to learn more about ReadyAPI and stay in touch with us.

Dashboard Features

⭐ ReadyAPI Dashboard includes a number of useful tiles that automatically collect, organize, and report information about previous test runs. 

⭐ The Dashboard tiles can also be used to start new projects and tests.

⭐ When you launch ReadyAPI for the first time, you will see tiles with sample data. They are inactive and serve only to demonstrate how the tiles work.

⭐ The Activities & Helpful Links panel on the Dashboard gives quick access to current projects.

A sample Image of the Dashboard is given below.
