REST and SOAPVerification of Response ContentWithout writing any code
An API that returns an empty field, a poorly handled error code, or a date format that changes. API testing catches these issues right at the source, without waiting for them to show up on a screen.
A service now returns an empty string instead of zero, and three screens later, the cart total is incorrect. Or the field still exists but has been renamed, and the front end ignores this without warning. These issues don’t cause any visible errors until someone actually looks at the response itself.
A score of 200 does not mean the answer is correct. The test checks the content: fields are present, expected data types are met, and values are consistent.
Completing one call triggers the next one. Create a shopping cart, add a product to it, and confirm the order: the sequence is tested as a single sequence.
Login, access token, renewal, expiration. Secrets are encrypted at rest and are never revealed in plain text.
The same calls replayed in each environment, along with the corresponding variables and datasets.
“What convinced me was the no-code approach: our QA engineer got the hang of the tool in just a few days. The tangible result: fewer bugs in production and smoother deployments.”

YOUR QUESTIONS
The most common questions we get about API testing.
Web APIs accessible via HTTP, whether REST or SOAP, as well as incoming webhooks. The scenario simulates the call, including its headers and body, and then checks the return code and the response content.
No. The call and the checks are built by assembling blocks, like an interface script. This is what allows a non-developer tester to cover the services without relying on the back-end team.
Yes, and that's the most useful case. The value returned by a call—such as a shopping cart ID or an authentication token—is reused in subsequent calls. The entire sequence becomes a single scenario.
Secrets are encrypted at rest and are never revealed in plain text. Authentication tokens are obtained within the scenario itself, which also allows for testing their renewal and expiration.
Yes, and that's often the right way to do it. A script can retrieve data via an API to save time, then verify the result on the screen. The actual workflow goes through both steps, and so does the test.
