An integration team uses Anypoint Platform and follows MuleSoft's recommended approach to full lifecycle API...

Before API developers implement the API specification, it is crucial for the API designer to publish the API specification to Anypoint Exchange and solicit feedback from the API's consumers. This step aligns with MuleSoft's recommended approach to full lifecycle API development, which emphasizes collaboration and feedback to ensure the API meets the needs and expectations of its consumers.

Generating test cases, creating an API portal, and versioning the API specification are important steps in the development lifecycle, but soliciting feedback ensures that any potential issues or improvements are identified early in the process. This collaborative approach helps in building a more effective and consumer-friendly API.
