Dredd - HTTP API Testing Framework
Dredd is a language-agnostic command-line tool for validating API description document against backend implementation of the API.
Dredd reads your API description and step by step validates whether your API implementation replies with responses as they are described in the documentation.
- API Blueprint
- OpenAPI 2 (formerly known as Swagger)
- OpenAPI 3 (experimental, contributions welcome!)
Dredd supports writing hooks — a glue code for each test setup and teardown. Following languages are supported:
- Go
- Node.js (JavaScript)
- Perl
- PHP
- Python
- Ruby
- Rust
- Didn't find your favorite language? Add a new one!
$ npm install -g dredd

Create an API Blueprint file called
api-description.apib. Follow tutorial at API Blueprint website or just take one of the ready-made examples. -

$ dredd init

$ dredd
