Features

• Declarative Request Definitions - Uses a declarative plain-text format to specify HTTP requests and response sequences.
• Session Variable Stores - Maintains a stateful variable store to allow data from one response to influence subsequent calls.
• Command-Line HTTP Clients - Provides a command line tool for defining HTTP requests and validating responses using a plain text format.
• Declarative API Specifications - Offers a declarative way to describe HTTP request and response sequences without using a full programming language.
• Request Sequencing - Executes a sequence of HTTP calls in a specific order while managing shared state between requests.
• HTTP Response Processors - Extracts values from HTTP responses to be used as stateful variables in subsequent requests.
• API Workflow Automation - Executes sequences of HTTP requests where data from one response is used as a variable in the next.
• API Testing - Validates the correctness of API responses and status codes using a plain text format for automated checks.
• HTTP Response Assertions - Evaluates response attributes against predefined matchers to determine the success or failure of API calls.
• REST API Testing Tools - Provides an execution engine that sequences HTTP calls and verifies API responses using matchers and variable capture.
• End-to-End Testing - Verifies end-to-end interactions between services by simulating real-world HTTP request and response chains.
• Response Validation - Provides matchers and queries to verify that HTTP response status codes, headers, and bodies meet expected criteria.
• CI/CD Integrations - Functions as a test runner for HTTP APIs that integrates into CI pipelines via standardized execution reports.
• Request Retries - Implements automatic re-attempting of failed network requests when assertions or status codes trigger errors.
• CI/CD Pipeline Integrations - Generates standardized execution reports to ensure API stability within continuous integration and delivery pipelines.
• HTTP Request Orchestrators - Allows defining and running complex HTTP calls with dynamic bodies and authentication to prototype API behavior.
• Authenticated Request Clients - Ships a client capable of dispatching HTTP requests with authorization headers and identity tokens.
• Domain Specific Languages - Implements a custom plain-text DSL to convert request definitions into a sequential execution pipeline.
• CI Test Exporting - Provides standardized test result exports for integration into continuous integration pipelines.
• Test Report Exporters - Provides pluggable result exporters that generate standardized reports for integration into continuous delivery workflows.
• Dynamic Body Templating - Injects dynamic values like timestamps or unique identifiers into JSON, XML, or plain text request bodies.
• Variable Injection - Replaces placeholders in request bodies with dynamic values from the variable store before transmission.
• API Clients and Debuggers - CLI tool for running HTTP requests defined in plain text.
• API Testing and Validation - Command-line tool for testing REST, SOAP, and GraphQL endpoints.
• API Testing Tools - A tool for running HTTP requests defined in plain text.
• Security Utilities - Runs and tests HTTP requests.
• Testing Frameworks - CLI tool for running HTTP requests via plain text.
• API Clients - Tool for working with REST, SOAP, and GraphQL APIs.
