Overview
I designed ThousandEyes’ first dedicated API testing experience, enabling users to continuously test API availability and performance from distributed network locations - beyond on-demand validation in tools like Postman.
The work established a phased foundation: launch with single-step API tests, then scale the configuration model and results views to support multi-step API workflows.
My Role
As the sole designer for the API testing experience, I:
- Defined the configuration flow and information architecture
- Designed single-step API test setup and a scalable path to multi-step tests
- Created API-specific inputs: method, endpoint, headers, authentication, body, and assertions
- Designed results views for API performance, availability, and failure investigation
- Presented concepts to customers and validated designs through customer testing
- Partnered with engineering to align the experience with the execution model
Outcome
Multi-Step API Configuration
API Test Results
