API Automation Testing

Test Automation

Drive inputs and response analysis using dynamic data from File, Excel, or Database tables. Can be used for functional API validation or with virtual client performance testing. Supports data source splitting and synchronization across data sources.

Regression Testing

Embedded behavior variance engine provides XDiff technology to automatically detect behavior variances and regression between API tests and API versions. Capture API baseline behavior and then run regression tests to detect and report any regression of functionality or expected behavior.

Success Criteria Rules

Validating API behavior is simplified by creating expected behavior rules using the success criteria rule framework. Quickly enable functional and performance testing to detect and report API expected behavior.

Command-Line Execution

Run tests via command-line with scripted automation and headless capabilities. Includes global variables and environment variables, scheduling, and report generation. Test generation inputs can be built manually or automatically exported.

PKI and Security

Built-in PKI engine for TLS, Digital Signature generation, and Encryption. Supports direct access to X.509 keys from Windows, Java keystore and dynamic SmartCard readers. Also support dynamic PKI for run-time specified PKI when API tests move from one environment to another.

Automatic Message Generation

OpenAPI and WSDL schema parsing with automatic JSON and XML generation. Enables simplified message generation by providing schema from OpenAPI, WSDL or stand-alone XSD schema. Messages can then be created via graphical form editor and resulting messages automatically created.

MFA and SSO

Protocol identity generation for Basic Auth, SSL X509 Auth, and NTLM. Message based identity generation for SAML, OAuth, Amazon AWSv4, X509, and Kerberos Identity Tokens

Test Reports

Detailed reports for results based on type of test performed including Functional, Performance, Compliance, and Vulnerability reports. Export formats XML, DOC, XLS, PDF, RTF, and RPT.

Test Variables

Variable substitution in message headers, message body, tasks, identity credentials. Dynamic X.509 aliases for PKI. Runtime variable, global variables, context functions, and automation variables.
