API testing software without writing code

The example expects status to be OK. A second input changes it to ERROR and the same test fails. You can try this without connecting to a working API.

How to create API tests without code

You will import a test case, run it against two inputs and see the exact field that differs.

Automate API and log checks with Kibana

The request identifier selects the operation to inspect, and saved rules validate fields from the matching log data.

Open guide →Practical guide

Find request logs by traceId in Kibana

You will know which value and field the search uses and can turn the selected log data into a repeatable check.

Open guide →Practical guide

Validate required and unexpected JSON fields

The test checks required values and rejects an unexpected property. Its broken input demonstrates a real failure.

Open guide →Practical guide

Validate every element of a JSON array

The downloadable example contains 1000 items. The broken input puts a defect at the end so you can verify that the test reaches it.

Open guide →Practical guide

HTTP 200 but the result is wrong

The example changes a business status while keeping the test itself unchanged, showing why response fields need their own rules.

Open guide →Practical guide

Validate JSON and XML API responses

You will separate data extraction from value checks and see how a deliberate mismatch appears in the report.

Open guide →Practical guide

Create API test drafts with local AI

You can review proposed test cases before adding them, then run the saved rules on passing and deliberately failing data.

Open guide →Practical guide

Import cURL, OpenAPI and Postman requests

You can inspect an imported request, send it to a test environment and add explicit response checks.

Open guide →Practical guide

Chain API requests with extracted variables

The example extracts an identifier and compares it with a value in another part of the data. Use the same principle in a request sequence.

Open guide →Practical guide

Create a local API mock server

You can configure a local route, call it from an HTTP request and inspect the incoming request history.

Open guide →Practical guide

Run API tests in Jenkins and CI pipelines

You will prepare a suite and identify its runtime, secrets and report settings before enabling unattended execution.

Open guide →Practical guide

A Postman alternative for API and log checks

You can import a familiar request, add a field rule and inspect a log-based check before deciding whether Checkcraft fits your work.

Open guide →Practical guide

Checkcraft security and data handling

You can separate the offline example, configured service connections and account operations before deciding how to use the application.

Open guide →Practical guide

Configure API request authentication

You will inspect the configured authentication and response status before adding business-result checks.

Open guide →Practical guide

Generate test drafts from documentation and screenshots

You will check the recognized material, review the proposed steps and prove the resulting test with a deliberate error.

Open guide →Practical guide

Create XML response tests without code

The example validates XML content and a tag whitelist. Its broken input makes a saved rule fail.

Open guide →Practical guide

Test API totals, discounts and calculations

The example sums item amounts, stores the expected total in a variable and compares it with the returned total.

Open guide →Practical guide

Create conditional and negative API tests

The example checks an error code when status is ERROR and demonstrates a failure when that code is wrong.
