WHAT IS KEPLOY ???

1. Keploy is a functional testing toolkit designed for developers, focusing on API testing.

2. It generates end-to-end (E2E) tests for APIs (KTests) by recording real API calls, automating the test generation process.

3. Keploy also provides the ability to create mocks or stubs (KMocks) based on the generated KTests, facilitating isolated testing environments.

4. KTests can be imported as mocks for API consumers and vice-versa, ensuring seamless integration and reliable testing of consumer modules.

5. With Keploy, developers can streamline their testing workflow, improve test coverage, and deliver high-quality APIs, enhancing productivity in the software development lifecycle.

WORKING:

Just 2 pretty simple steps then you are all set.

STEP 1 :

Capture Distinct Network Interactions as Test Scenarios

export KEPLOY_MODE="record"

Upon the application's API service, Keploy server securely retains each distinctive network interaction as a test case.

STEP 2 :

Execute Repetitions of Test Scenarios.

export KEPLOY_MODE="test"

Best part here is you don't need to setup environment.

1. Keploy downloads previously stored test cases/API calls, incorporating a configurable application build time delay of 5 seconds.

2. During the application's interaction with external dependencies like databases, routers, or vendor services, Keploy intercepts the communication.

3. Keploy provides the previously recorded response from the respective dependency, substituting real-time interactions.

4. Keploy compares the API response received during testing with the captured response from previous interactions.

5. A detailed report is generated on the Keploy console, presenting the findings and insights of the comparison process.
