4. API Versions

This release supports the following versions of the Mojaloop family of APIs:

API	Supported Versions	Notes
FSPIOP	v1.1, v1.0
Settlements	v2.0
Admin	v1.0
Oracle	v1.0
Thirdparty	v1.0

5. Testing notes

1. This release has been validated against the following Dependency Test Matrix:

   Dependency	Version	Notes
   Kubernetes	v1.29	AWS EKS, AWS EKS Supported Version Notes
   containerd	v1.6.19
   Nginx Ingress Controller	helm-ingress-nginx-4.7.0 / ingress-controller-v1.8.0
   Amazon Linux	v2
   MySQL	bitnami/mysql:8.0.32-debian-11-r0
   Kafka	bitnami/kafka:3.3.1-debian-11-r1
   Redis	bitnami/redis:7.0.5-debian-11-r7
   MongoDB	bitnami/mongodb:6.0.2-debian-11-r11
   Testing Toolkit Test Cases	v17.3.0
   example-mojaloop-backend	v17.3.0	README

2. It is recommended that all Mojaloop deployments are verified using the Mojaloop Testing Toolkit. More information can be found in the Mojaloop Deployment Guide.

3. The testing-toolkit-test-cases (See above Dependency Test Matrix for exact version required for this release) Golden Path collections expects:

   • the Quoting service operating mode to be set quoting-service.config.simple_routing_mode_enabled=true (in helm mojaloop/values.yaml under quoting-service config). If this is incorrectly configured, it will result in several failures in the quoting-service tests (7 expected failures). If this is disabled, ensure that you update the corresponding test-case environment variable parameter SIMPLE_ROUTING_MODE_ENABLED ( in helm mojaloop/values.yaml ml-testing-toolkit -> extraEnvironments.hub-k8s-default-environment.json.inputValues) to match.
   • the on-us transfers (in mojaloop/values.yaml "enable_on_us_transfers: false" under centralledger-handler-transfer-prepare -> config and cl-handler-bulk-transfer-prepare -> config) configuration to be disabled. The test-case environment variable parameter (ON_US_TRANSFERS_ENABLED (in helm mojaloop/values.yaml ml-testing-toolkit -> extraEnvironments.hub-k8s-default-environment.json.inputValues), the same name used on postman collections) must similarly match this value.

4. Simulators

   • We recommend using Testing Toolkit instead of Postman which is better suited for the async nature of the Mojaloop API specification (see above)
   • Mojaloop-Simulator is enabled by default (six instances used for single transfers usually and three more specific to bulk).
   • Ensure that correct Postman Scripts are used if you wish to test against the Mojaloop-Simulators:
     • Setup Mojaloop Hub: MojaloopHub_Setup
     • Setup Mojaloop Simulators for testing : MojaloopSims_Onboarding
     • Golden path tests: Golden_Path_Mojaloop
   • Legacy Simulators are still required and deployed by default; disabling this will cause issues since there is Account Lookup directory mocking functionality in this service.

5. Thirdparty Testing Toolkit Test Collections are not repeatable. Please refer to the following issue for more information #2717 - Thirdparty TTK Test-Collection is not repeatable. It is possible to manually cleanup persistent data to re-run the test if required.

6. Bulk API Helm Tests

   Refer to the Testing Deployments section in the main README for detailed information on how to enable bulk-api-adapter tests.

7. Thirdparty API Helm Tests

   Refer to thirdparty/README.md#validating-and-testing-the-3p-api on how to enabled and execute Thirdparty verification tests.

8. Testing the Bulk functionality including "sdk-scheme-adapter"

   For details regarding deployment and validation of simulators needed for bulk (for adoption provided in sdk-scheme-adapter) refer to deploying Mojaloop TTK simulators.
