Step CI

Automated API Testing and Quality Assurance

What is Step CI?​

Step CI, an open-source API Quality Assurance framework that's ideal for our needs in security, performance, and load testing APIs. Here's how you can integrate Step CI into our workflow.

Step CI is designed to be language-agnostic, supporting multiple configuration formats like YAML, JSON, or JavaScript. It can handle various types of APIs, including REST, GraphQL, gRPC, tRPC, and SOAP, all within a single workflow.

Key Features:​

• Language-Agnostic: Easy configuration with YAML, JSON, or JavaScript.
• Supports Multiple API Types: Compatible with REST, GraphQL, gRPC, tRPC, and SOAP.
• Self-Hosted: Can be deployed to test services on local networks, locally, and within CI/CD pipelines.
• Integrated: Designed to integrate smoothly with other tools and systems.
