What is Restfox?
Restfox is an open-source functional testing tool designed specifically for REST APIs. It allows users to easily create, organize, run, and report on API tests without needing to write code.
Some key features of Restfox include:
- Intuitive graphical interface to set up API tests via simple form inputs
- Support for all major HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.
- Assertions to validate API response codes, headers, response body contents
- Test organization with tagging and search capabilities
- Built-in reporting to track test pass/fail status over time
- Command line runner to integrate with CI/CD systems
- Plugin ecosystem to extend functionality further
Restfox aims to make API testing easy for developers and testers alike. Its simple and lightweight design allows anyone to quickly start testing their web APIs without needing programming expertise. Yet it includes powerful features under the hood typically found only in more complex testing tools.
If you build or consume REST APIs, Restfox can accelerate your testing efforts, improve test organization, and help prevent bugs from reaching production.
