Reduce Integration Errors

Integrate the systems with less integration errors. Is this possible? As a Business analyst you just need to prepare proper specifications. Are your requirements intended for the server side or for the client side? There are specifics in what needs to be described. Make sure both ends receive the proper integration details.

• Describe the processing logics from the server side or client side perspective. The server side provides a service within a specific area – its logic is focused on that service only, for example a payment service, or a shipping service. The client side rather provides a product to its customers or employees. It calls several services to build the whole product and to implement the end-to-end process.
• Specify validations. The API specification is usually provided by the server side. It contains the request and response parameters to be exchanged. It is important to specify validations there – not only the data type, but also allowed values and connection to other parameters. Maybe the payment date is a mandatory parameter when creating recurring payments.
• Talk to the other side – share versions and plans. If you are working on the server side, your software needs to be deployed first before the client side makes the calls. Share with the client side the updates to be included in the next version, so that the client side can plan the next piece of development on their side.
