As a student learning backend development, testing APIs manually was always time-consuming. This week, I tried Keploy, and it made the process so much easier!

✅ Task 1: Testing APIs with AI + CI/CD
I created an OpenAPI schema for my backend project.

Used the Keploy CLI to record real API calls and auto-generate test cases — no need to write them manually!

Then I added the Keploy test command to GitHub Actions, so the tests run automatically on every push or pull request.

yaml-
run: |
export KEPLOY_API_KEY=${{ secrets.KEPLOY_API_KEY }} && \
keploy test-suite \
--app= \
--base-path= \
--cloud
✅ The pipeline ran successfully, and I added a screenshot of the test report in my README.
GithubReadme

🧪 Task 2: Using Keploy Chrome Extension
I used the Keploy Chrome Extension to test APIs on Amazon.

It automatically detected the API calls I made while browsing and converted them into test cases.

Super easy and very beginner-friendly — no coding required!

💬 Final Thoughts
Using Keploy as a student helped me:

✅ Save time on writing and maintaining tests

🔁 Learn how real-world CI/CD workflows operate

💡 Gain confidence in the quality of my code
