@ashrahman Thank you for the feedback. Let us know if you have any additional feedback on our product roadmap.
@ashrahman It should not be to begin with. Code, test and data if conformant to the single source of truth can bring efficiency gains by a factor of 100X in terms of productivity and that is what our vision with Conektto's launch.
Thank you for your support and invite you to sign-up for free to witness the power of platform.
@iakash Thank you. Hope you are able to sign-up, design and setup the API test harness locally. Let us know your feedback on the downloadable API Workspace that is a completed dockerized infrastructure of test data, test cases, mock engine, test execution engine, performance test engine, load generator engine along with influx and grafana integrations. Our vision was to simplify the entire API testing into a single zero touch, zero tweak, zero code product.
@iakash - Thank you Akash. Building quality API's should not need specialized skills only and if we can make API's first class citizens that are created with business stakeholders in mind, can be the difference between digital leaders or laggard.
Appreciate your support and invite you to sign-up for our platform at conektto.io for free to begin with.
Amazing API design and collaboration studio. No more coding for API testing and generating test data. Solve a lot of key areas around APIs. Better than postman and swagger.
@madhu_v_swamy1 Thank you Madhu. API's for all and removing the technical barrier as entry point is critical for ensuring business can participate and drive API adoption to great heights in an organization is what we are striving for with Conektto.
Appreciate your feedback and support.
@madhu_v_swamy1 We love what Ankit and Abhinav started at Postman. SoapUI is certainly sister of all SOAP inventions. Our point of view: Postman and Swagger are great platforms for web 2.0 and last 2 decades of what we call as hamster wheel of doing something over and over. Our vision is to build APIs in minutes. This is a huge shift from building API to generating API automatically. The complexity lies in business logic, simplicity, design thinking. Hence Conektto, Design First API development platform. Thank you for your feedback and encouragement.
Hi Product Hunt,
Excited to launch our API Test Harness here today! Testing data provider APIs built on top of database like SQL Server, PostGres is not straight forward. You are dealing with an existing OpenAPI Spec that has all the complex logic programmed in the code. We were looking for a tool that can consume an OpenAPI spec, map the meta data and generate all test infrastructure including mock, test cases, test execution controller, test data, etc.
Why? It is not just API testers that are testing and automating APIs.
We have come across several stakeholders in engineering and operations that are constantly testing APIs like: Business, Product Managers, SRE, Release engineers, Performance and Security experts, and developers.
Not everyone is a skilled API tester that understands the nuances of API testing. Additionally, it takes several steps and a ton of time to get to repeatable API tests.
We were looking for a product that is:
✅ Zero-touch
✅ Friendly for different types of stakeholders (refer above)
✅ Intelligent
✅ A completely modern API development platform
None existed and hence we built Conektto, the Autonomous API Test Harness. The only platform in the industry that can auto generate mock, tests, test execution, test data, performance tests and report results - Zero touch for Data provider APIs. We support SQL Server and Postgres today, in the roadmap are MySQL, MongoDB, complex business logic as well as complex Process APIs. More on our roadmap --> https://www.conektto.io/roadmap
We'd love to hear what you think!
@macrodave Thank you David. Let us know if you are able to subscribe to our trial and if you need any help with initial setup.
@coder_with_a_bushido Thank you. We strongly believe in product led growth given how API space is vast and complex. We know we are behind solving a huge problem that requires journey and community support. Hence we have built a trial version for our users to try out and provide feedback.
How does this compare to postman or smartbear? What do you think the biggest differentiator is?
@coder_with_a_bushido F5 report says for the past 2 decades, developers have created 200 million APIs and 1.5 billion new new APIs to be built in the next 8 years. We love what Ankit and Abhinav started at Postman. Yet, our primary objective was how do we bring intelligence in the API development lifecycle that focuses on Design First API approach. Modern API lifecycle will be driven by Product managers, innovators and creators who are not developers and don't have PhD in JSON or YAML. Smartbear has pioneered SOAP and SOAP based tests. Yet, we believe in single platform for mock, test, test data, performance tests, security tests, monitoring, etc. Not one product for each. Hence Conektto.
@coder_with_a_bushido The API world is moving to a value play over 2 applications talking to each other. The rise of the citizen developer demands a low-code approach that does not force technical pre-requisite and that is where conektto is trying to crave a differentiator over existing solutions.
@jamesyto Thank you. Please watch our product tours in the dedicated YouTube channels. We have +100k viewers echoing why Conektto story.
Works like a charm, faster and more intuitive than traditional development and testing.
@binay_singh2 Thank you for your feedback. Hope you are able to login and use our sample project to try out the whole experience of Autonomous API Test Harness.
@shubham_khapra Thank you and appreciate the support. Please sign up for free and keep us posted on what you would love to see more from a roadmap point as well.
@amol_dewhare @shubham_khapra Thank you. Will absolutely consider RDB connect link.
Attractive platform, looks solid and seems like its going to make the API Testing too easy. Want to make my hands dirty on this. Congrats on the launch !!!
@deepesh_poonthorakandy Thank you. Can't wait to share our low code business logic designer that is set to launch in few weeks. That would make our platform very unique for product managers as well as help developers and testers to simplify defining complex business logic in code. Not to forget how much re-usability our platform can bring for the complex business logic. Your domain models need not be generated several times solving API sprawl and debugging issue. Please sign up and share your additional feedback.
@rams_211 This will be a game changer and exciting feature. Will you be launching it on PH again when no code business logic is available?
@sri_vidhya2 We will be launching no code business logic later this winter. subscribe for our newsletter or signup for our beta from the roadmap if you are interested. Thank you.
What database do you support today and what is in your roadmap? Can you generate test data for no-sql?
@sri_vidhya2 We support Postgres & SQL Server today. Mongo DB is next on our roadmap and will keep you posted once we go live.
@sri_vidhya2 Please help us to validate if MongoDB would be a right addition to our roadmap or a different NoSQL.
One of the phenomenal product I have ever experienced. Loved the platform which build the complex API dynamically & deploy it with all the restful method within minutes where developers are spending multiple days to write code, build and deploy. The ROI from this is huge!!!.
Couple of questions from my end is
1. will this product automatically create workers/VMs in cloud formation repositories (AWS/GCP/Azure) like how terraform does and execute load tests for APIs (using automatically generated test data within workers ) and report in monitoring/observability tools?
2. Can we schedule the API testing as a job in conektto?
@rajesh_rajendran Thank you for great feedback and comments. Our load generation is ready to be executed on cloud as Kubernetes cluster. This capability will be available for late November. Additionally our test execution is all API based and hence configuring the execution from CI/CD tool like Jenkins is fairly a simple setup process. Great feedback and will certainly update our roadmap with this feature request.
@sri_vidhya2 Thank you for the feedback. will keep you posted on these integrations.
@krishnakashyap Thank you Krishna. Yes the API mocks can be consumed from a rest client. Give it a spin by signing up for free and exploring the test studio.
@hari0701 Thank you for your feedback. Please reach out to us at engage@conektto.io for any additional insights or feature requests.
@rams_211 Very Apt for current aura of api world and ease to use tool. Based on initial walkthrough of tool and time I spent , looks like (spl in my zone - api automation for enterprise backend application) , 50% of effort is upfront saves and could be even more , if i get sometime to dig into. This is indeed atleast going to be good cost saving (in QA zone).
@rams_211 @anupam_anand1 Thank you Anupam for your feedback and support. Encourage you to explore the performance test case, intelligent test data generation and execution engine ease to enhance the value generated.
@anupam_anand1 Thank you for your feedback. Our target customer profiles are product managers, developers, testers, SRE, UAT. We have seen how the backend API testing team struggles with getting a clean API testing that not only validates data happy path and corner cases but truly validates OpenAPI constructs and design principles used by the development team. Our product starts from uploading an OpenAPI spec and generating all the downstream artifacts from a single metadata based source. Would be happy to show you the demo.
@jay_tailor1 Thank you and appreciate the support. Encourage you to sign up for free and help us iterate with features that you find useful
@jay_tailor1 Thank you for your feedback. Our goal is zero touch testing. Please sign up and also review our product backlog. We are just getting started and we have some key launches coming shortly around Christmas and early spring next year. These 2 launches are big pain killers for Digital disruptors especially modern Web 3.0 API developers.
@vaibhav_joshi5 Thank you for your feedback. Hope you are able to login and use our sample project to try out the whole experience of Autonomous API Test Harness. Our platform is meant to bring API product managers, developers, testers and SRE together with a single common purpose of standardizing API DESIGN. Please check out our inbuilt OpenAPI Spec linter - we have taken some liberty to question the status quo on lack of support Open API governance.
