Mulesoft MCD – ASSOC MuleSoft Certified Developer – Integration and API Associate (Mule 3) Exam

Description
MuleSoft Certified Developer – API Design Associate (RAML 1.0)A MuleSoft Certified Developer – API Design Associate should be able to create well-designed, modular API definitions using RAML 1.0 and Anypoint Platform. The MCD – API Design Associate (RAML 1.0) exam validates that an API designer has the required knowledge and skills to:

Translate design requirements into API resources and methods.
Use RAML to define API resources, methods, parameters, and responses.
Model data in APIs using data types.
Minimize repetition in API definitions using resource types and traits.
Modularize APIs using libraries, overlays, and extensions.
Specify API security schemes.
Version APIs.
Document and test APIs and make them discoverable.
