REST - CI/CD Glossary Definition

REST is an architectural style for HTTP APIs built on resources, standard methods, and stateless requests.

REST (Representational State Transfer) is an architectural style for APIs using HTTP methods, URLs as resources, and stateless requests. Most CI integration tests exercise REST endpoints with standard HTTP verbs.

REST maps operations onto HTTP verbs against resource URLs. Its statelessness makes each request independently testable, which fits the deterministic model CI needs.
