[H3] The most comprehensive contract testing platform.

Swagger makes contract testing accessible to more users through two key frameworks: the popular OSS consumer-driven Pact framework and the OpenAPI Specification Bi-Directional Contract Testing framework.

Farewell costly and flakey end-to-end integration tests
[IMG: plus interface icon]

Swagger is the chosen way to implement contract testing for thousands of engineering teams world-wide—from startups through to fortune 500 companies. Unlike end-to-end integrated testing, contract testing is a proven way to:

Increase developer confidence
Decouple teams to deploy faster
Reduce issues in production
Decrease testing costs

And from day one, Swagger has been tightly integrated with Pact—the de-facto consumer driven contract testing framework—and its open source ecosystem. With Swagger, you’ll get all the goodness of the Pact consumer-driven contract testing framework plus additional advanced capabilities including:

Managed solution or self-hosted options

The most comprehensive contract testing suite
[IMG: plus interface icon]

Swagger has an expanded breadth of contract testing capabilities beyond the open source Pact consumer driven contract testing frame.

This means:

Lowers barriers to getting started
Rapid scale of contract testing coverage across all systems
Everyone's welcome—developers, QAs, SDETs and testers
Flexible implementation for both consumer or provider driven workflows
Support for more technologies and solves for additional classes of problems
Faster time to value

[H1] FAQs
Still sitting on the fence? Here are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.

[H3] What is PactFlow?

At its core, Pact is a managed version of the Open Source Pact Broker, with added features for teams and
enterprises looking to scale their contract testing.
PactFlow allows teams to increase their application quality and time-to-market by speeding up the release
cycle for large-scale integrated systems. Whether you build microservices, messaging systems or cloud
native (e.g. lambdas) systems, Developers and Testers can write simple, isolated unit tests for each
integration in their application and generate API contracts that are guaranteed to be up-to-date with
their code, ensuring all dependencies are always compatible.
This unit test approach is simpler, faster and more reliable than traditional end-to-end acceptance tests
for a variety of use cases, and can be integrated easily into a holistic testing strategy.

[H3] Do you offer special pricing for OSS projects, charities, not-for-profits and startups?

We sure do! Get in touch to discuss options with one of the team.

[H3] Is PactFlow compatible with the Open Source Pact Broker?

Yes, we a fully backwards compatible with the Open Source Pact Broker.
We contribute regularly to the Open Source roadmap, and generally release multiple updates a week to our
customers.
If you need help migrating from a self-hosted broker, please contact us

[H3] Do you provide an on-premise / self-hosted option?

Yes! Our Enterprise plans are a drop-in replacement for the open source Pact Broker, with all of the key features of our SaaS offering1.

1. On-premise deployment currently only supports SAML 2.0 authentication mode

[H3] Do you complete security and vendor assessments?

Yes, we are happy to complete these for our enterprise customers if our standard vendor security information (request more information) is not sufficient. You can also read more about our security practices here.

[H3] How can I upgrade from the Starter (free) plan?

You can upgrade from within your account. If you need support, contact us and we'll take it from there.

[H3] Do you store any credit card information in your systems?

No. All credit card activity and information is handled by our third-party provider, Stripe. See Stripe’s
Terms and Services.

[H3] How secure is your solution?

We take security seriously. In addition to 3rd party penetration testing, we perform regular security
scanning of our platform, encrypt all data at rest and use TLS for all remote communication. Each customer
is further isolated via separate database instances. Read more about our approach to security.

[H3] Can I host my own Open Source Pact Broker?​

Yes, you can manage your own Pact Broker, however you will be responsible for its operation, including security, maintenance and upgrades. PactFlow is a fully-managed, highly-available, and hardened deployment of the open source version with an improved user experience and additional features (such as bi-directional contract testing).​
Compare PactFlow to the Open Source self hosted Pact Broker.​
We also provide a supported, on-premise, Enterprise version of PactFlow. If you are interested in this, please contact us Contact us​

[H3] Do you have other support options available for PactFlow plans?

Yes, we have support plans available with guaranteed response time SLAs. Contact us for further information on how we can assist you.
