Friendly API Autotesting

Ply is simply a more intuitive way to automate REST and GraphQL API testing.

Graphical, flow-driven test suites

flow-driven

side-by-side

Ply works over HTTP and doesn't care what platform your API runs on
Three different types of test artifacts: Requests, Flows, and Cases
Expected results are YAML files, compared with actual results during verification
Auto-generate result files by capturing actual good responses
Reference environment values and/or upstream response props using template expressions
Built-in GraphQL support providing the same intuitive workflow as REST
The ply-demo project illustrates best practices
Import Ply requests from Postman collections
Augment OpenAPI specs with example requests/responses and code snippets from Ply autotests
Test artifacts are simply files that can be committed to version control systems such as Git

Install Ply's VS Code extension
Request editor for intuitive creation of reusable Ply requests
Graphical flow builder makes it easy to sequence requests
Side-by-side diff view compares expected/actual, with smart decorations aware of runtime values
Command-line interface for integrating into CI/CD pipelines
Decorations on your Ply test flows and files display test statuses and results
Ply sidebar shows all Ply flow/request/case suites along with their statuses
CodeLens links in your Ply test files for running and debugging tests
