Continuous testing on an existing API for which you have a swagger spec can be done with Dredd
mkdir swagger
wget https://example.com/dist/swagger.json
Install npm tools
npm --version
npm install json2yaml
npm install dredd
npm install junit-viewer
Convert json to yml as dredd reads only yml
./node_modules/json2yaml/cli.js ./swagger/swagger.json > ./swagger/swagger.yml
