Schemathesis
Schemathesis is a modern API testing tool for web applications built with Open API and GraphQL specifications.
It reads the application schema and generates test cases, which will ensure that your application is compliant with its schema.
The application under test could be written in any language; the only thing you need is a valid API schema in a supported format.
Simple to use and yet powerful to uncover hard-to-find errors thanks to the property-based testing approach backed by state-of-the-art Hypothesis library.
Features
- Content-Type, schema, and status code conformance checks for Open API;
- Testing of explicit examples from the input schema;
- Stateful testing via Open API links;
- Concurrent test execution;
- Targeted testing;
- Storing and replaying network requests;
- Built-in ASGI / WSGI application support;
- Ready-to-go Docker image;
- Configurable with user-defined checks, string formats, hooks, and targets.
Installation
To install Schemathesis via pip
run the following command:
pip install schemathesis
Usage
You can use Schemathesis in the command line:
schemathesis run --stateful=links --checks all http://0.0.0.0:8081/schema.yaml
Or in your Python tests:
import schemathesis
schema = schemathesis.from_uri("http://0.0.0.0:8081/schema.yaml")
@schema.parametrize()
def test_api(case):
case.call_and_validate()
CLI is simple to use and requires no coding; the in-code approach gives more flexibility.
Both examples above will run hundreds of requests against the API under test and report all found failures and inconsistencies along with instructions to reproduce them.
