Arazzo offers powerful benefits for capturing API workflows, but authoring Arazzo is complex and requires a deep understanding of YAML syntax.

Real workflows involve dozens of operations. Editing by hand or using an LLM are both error-prone, reviewing is nearly impossible, and maintaining it as APIs evolve is a nightmare.

Simplified Arazzo Authoring & API Workflow Testing

Specmatic is the only product that provides:

1. Visual Workflow Creation

• Drag-and-drop OpenAPI operations to build Arazzo specifications
• Automatic completion of all possible workflow scenarios
• Seamless operation connections with custom step naming
• Eliminates error-prone manual YAML editing

2. No-Code API Workflow Mocking

• Generate workflow mocks where multiple mocks provide co-ordinated responses
• Analyze mock usage with detailed drill-down capabilities

3. No-Code API Workflow Testing

• Transform Arazzo specifications directly into executable workflow tests (#NoCode)
• Visualize test results through interactive flowchart diagrams

What is Arazzo?

Arazzo is the new API workflow specification from OpenAPI Initiative. The name means “tapestry”—weaving individual API specifications into coordinated workflows.

Where OpenAPI describes individual operations (one request, one response), Arazzo describes sequences of operations with conditional logic: which APIs to call in what order, how responses influence next steps, and what happens when things go wrong.

For example: An e-commerce checkout flow that validates inventory, processes payment, updates customer records, and triggers fulfillment.

The Future of API Workflows

As AI agents and conversational interfaces become prevalent, they need clear instructions for navigating complex API ecosystems. Arazzo provides this guidance, and Specmatic makes it practical to create, test, and maintain these workflow specifications.

With Specmatic’s visual approach and comprehensive testing capabilities, provide organizations with real-world impact:

• Development Velocity: Consumer teams develop against coordinated workflow mocks without waiting for provider integration. Provider teams can also independently develop and test their applications without waiting for integration feedback.
• #NoCode Quality Assurance: Catch workflow failures early in development with comprehensive scenario coverage. Validate service interactions before deployment across success and failure paths.
• AI-Ready: Provide machine-readable workflow specifications for intelligent systems navigating complex business processes.
• Foster better collaboration between teams building interdependent systems
