Keploy

What is Keploy?

Keploy is an open-source API test case and data mock generation tool designed to enhance developers' testing processes by achieving 90% test coverage within minutes. It simplifies testing by converting user-traffic into test cases and data stubs, addressing challenges such as manual test writing, dependency chaos, and reproducing production issues for testing and debugging. Keploy enables developers to capture network interactions, automate scenarios, and seamlessly integrate the tool into their workflows for accelerated development processes. It offers features like test and stub generation, test deduplication, and native integration, suitable for team environments. Notable companies such as Pixis, Instaastro, Amazon, and Reliance have trusted and used Keploy for their testing needs.

How to use Keploy?

To effectively use Keploy, follow these steps:

1. Installation: Integrate Keploy by installing the open-source agent locally using the command:
   curl --silent -O -L https://keploy.io/install.sh && source install.sh

2. Recording Test Cases:

   • Begin recording by starting your app with Keploy to convert API calls into tests and mocks/stubs.
   • Make API calls to your app while Keploy records the interactions.
   • Use the command keploy record -c CMD_TO_RUN_APP where CMD_TO_RUN_APP is the command to start your app.

3. Testing:

   • Cease services like Database, Redis, Kafka during the testing phase as Keploy does not require them.
   • Utilize the command keploy test -c CMD_TO_RUN_APP --delay 10C to initiate the testing process.

By following these steps, you can harness Keploy's capabilities for streamlined testing, efficient network interaction capturing, and automated test generation. Keploy aids in improving test coverage and accelerating development processes seamlessly. For further details and support, refer to the official Keploy documentation and community resources.
