Octrafic

Key Features

• •Natural Language API Testing: Describe what to test in plain English—the AI agent automatically plans scenarios, executes requests, and validates responses. No code needed, enabling rapid iterative testing during development.
• •Real API Requests: Tests execute against your actual live API, returning real status codes and errors. No mocks or simulations, ensuring accurate validation of endpoint behavior.
• •One-Command PDF Reports: Export test results to a styled PDF with a single command. Ideal for sharing with stakeholders, documenting test runs, or archiving compliance records.
• •Multiple LLM Provider Support: Switch between OpenAI, Claude, OpenRouter, or local models via Ollama and llama.cpp without changing test definitions. Offers flexibility in cost, latency, and data privacy.
• •OpenAPI Spec Generation: Run `octrafic scan` to automatically generate an OpenAPI 3.1 specification from your source code by detecting frameworks and extracting endpoints in parallel.
• •Headless Mode: Run tests in CI/CD pipelines without an interactive TUI—just exit codes and JSON output. Integrate with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins for automated regression testing.
• •Schema Validation: Automatically validate API responses against your OpenAPI spec, catching missing fields, wrong data types, and other mismatches. Ensures documented behavior matches actual output.

Use Cases

• •Test REST APIs Without Writing Code: Backend developers can quickly test new endpoints during development using natural language commands like 'test /users endpoint'—no test scripts to write or maintain, accelerating iterative development.
• •Automate API Testing in CI/CD Pipelines: DevOps teams integrate Octrafic into GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins. Run a predefined set of API tests on every commit, catching regressions early with clear pass/fail exit codes.
• •Validate OpenAPI Specifications: Import an OpenAPI or Swagger spec and verify that your API behaves as documented. Octrafic automatically understands endpoints and schemas, flagging response mismatches automatically.
• •API Testing for Non-Technical Teams: QA engineers without coding experience can test APIs using plain English commands. Describe what you want tested, and the AI handles the rest—lowering the barrier to thorough API validation.
• •Lightweight Postman Alternative for CLI: Terminal-first developers get a single binary with no dependencies—no Electron app or heavy UI. Run tests from anywhere, scriptable and pipeable, ideal for a command-line workflow.
• •API Regression Testing Automation: Ensure API changes don't break existing functionality by running regression tests automatically after every deployment. Export professional PDF reports for stakeholders to demonstrate stability.

Who is this for?

Backend developers who need to rapidly test APIs during development without writing boilerplate code. DevOps engineers integrating automated API testing into CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins. QA engineers, including those without coding experience, who want to validate REST APIs using natural language commands. Non-technical team members who need to perform API checks and generate reports for stakeholders. Terminal-first developers seeking a lightweight, scriptable alternative to GUI tools like Postman. Organizations building and maintaining HTTP-based APIs across any industry that require fast, reliable, and accessible testing workflows.
