API quality gates are automated checkpoints in a CI/CD pipeline that evaluate test results -- pass rate, endpoint coverage, schema compliance, and response time -- against predefined thresholds. If results fall below the threshold, the pipeline blocks the deployment, preventing broken APIs from reaching production.
Adding API tests to a CI/CD pipeline means configuring automated test execution, JUnit reporting, and quality gates inside your build workflow so that every code change is validated against your API contracts before deployment. This guide covers tool selection, pipeline configuration for Azure DevOps and Jenkins, quality gate thresholds, and tiered testing strategies.
