This service is responsible for managing instances of the Input Data and Properties Annotation (IDPA) (see publication below for details). An IDPA describes the target application's API and how to parameterize generated load tests, e.g., to use specific credentials when sending requests to the /login endpoint.
The service provides the REST endpoints /application/{app-id} and /annotation/{app-id} (both with GET and POST) for uploading or retrieving IDPAs. The endpoints can both be used by users or other services.
We recommend using the CLI when working with IDPAs. This repository demonstrates how to do that.
The IDPA is introduced in the following scientific publication:
