• Cucumber Maintainer out of Job and future of the project is uncertain

  This is why we need better tools which will give benefits for the added complexity. If you need to create both the feature files AND the code, it's just complexity with little benefits. But frameworks like https://github.com/karatelabs/karate are hiding this complexity and remove the code layer entirely. Which, in my view, this is where you need to be in 2023, particularly for API testing. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Lama2: Plain-Text Powered REST API Client for Teams

  Congrats on the launch ! I'm the lead dev of [Karate](https://github.com/karatelabs/karate) and the IDE and traditional solutions fall short. I hope Karate's syntax passes your "memory friendly" test :) We get regular feedback is that it is easy to read and even non-programmers can pick it up. One thing I feel we do really well is chaining of HTTP requests. And we have plugins for... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Hurl, run and test HTTP requests with plain text

  I recently found a BDD style tool that has native HTTP comprehension, which seems like it hits a similar area in the testing concept space: https://github.com/karatelabs/karate. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Hurl 1.8.0, text based integration tests for REST APIs and web sites

  I'm doing something similar but taking the approach of karate framework making it a kitchen sink of e2e testing tools. Love to see another rust based solution! I might open source mine at some point, I've implemented curl + webdriver, I will expand to support other things in my stack like desktop automation. Source: over 1 year ago

• Automated testing

  We use karate to test our fully integrated graphql backend. Has Gherkin language support. Source: over 1 year ago

• Building a RESTful API with Node.js and Express

  Use tools like Postman or Insomnia to test the API endpoints and ensure they behave as expected. - Source: dev.to / 24 days ago

• Make your Azure OpenAI apps compliant with RBAC

  We will be performing all of the authentication requests manually, however for testing purposes, you might want to use an API testing tool such as Postman or Insomnia. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Local automation

  For a very long time, the go-to tool was curl. Great, always available command line tool. Unfortunately, there is one small issue. It’s hard to keep requests and collect them in collections, it’s great for one-time shots or debugging, but for constant working with API could be painful. To solve it, I started working with tools like Postman/Insomnia. Then eh... Strange licensing model, or changes which occurred... - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Tools that Make Me Productive as a Software Engineer

  At first, I used Postman for testing APIs because it had a lot of features. But I switched to Insomnia because it was easier to use and kept everything organized. The big problem with Insomnia was that it deleted all my saved work when it made me create an account to keep using it. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Different Levels of Project Documentation

  Often used for cases where a project exposes a REST or other type of API service. Open API is a popular method of documenting such API services. It can also be used along side tools such as Swagger Codegen to produce boilerplate code for API interaction / testing purposes. There may also be support files for popular API testing tools such as Postman or Insomnia. This makes it easier at a glance to see what data is... - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago
