Although I liked the tool for easily writing requests against the server, I should disagree with the fact that it does testing, you just perform a request and get a response from the server.

Is there any way to actually do non-manual testing with it, short of generating the code snippet for it and pasting it inside a test?

Yes you are right. I was not talking about automated testing or something like that. I was only talking to manually test your API. I use it mainly for hitting a breakpoint in my API and debug my code.

I am not aware of a way of doing automated testing with that but if you found something I would be glad to hear about it.
