API Testing Without Writing Test Cases and Mocks
summary
An open source tool called Keploy SDK records HTTP requests plus dependency calls and database queries, then replays them as functional tests so teams avoid hand‑written test cases and mocks. A demo runs recorded cases in CI and reports 74% coverage for the sample app, shows noisy-field normalization (timestamps) and lets the UI update failing test expectations. It virtualizes infra to virtualize dependencies, runs without the real DB, but does not exercise network failures, streaming, or multi‑service scenarios yet.
