API testing used to drain me. Not because it was too hard, but because it felt endless. I would spend hours—sometimes entire days—crafting test cases manually. Writing fetch calls, setting up Postman collections, validating status codes, matching response bodies, and still missing edge cases. The tiniest backend change would mean rewriting or debugging parts of my test suite all over again.
Even when things looked okay on the surface, I never truly felt confident. Was I testing all the right paths? What about real user behavior? What if the user sent something I didn’t anticipate? Testing started to feel like a guessing game—a routine of assumptions, mocks, and repeated trial and error.
Then I discovered Keploy.
I was skeptical at first. The promise of AI-generated tests sounded too good to be true. But once I tried it, everything changed. I installed the Keploy Chrome Extension and simply started recording. No complex setup. No scripting. I just used my app the way a normal user would—clicked buttons, searched data, submitted forms—and in the background, Keploy quietly watched and captured all the API interactions happening in real-time.
When I stopped the recording, Keploy didn’t just show logs—it gave me fully formed, runnable API tests. These weren’t random or generic tests—they were based on my actual usage. The real headers, the real request bodies, the real responses, even the status codes—all turned into accurate test cases within minutes.
I went from having zero coverage to confidently testing all major flows—in a matter of moments.
Keploy didn’t just save me time—it gave me something deeper: trust. The AI didn't fabricate tests; it understood my app’s real behavior and mirrored it back to me as something I could run, validate, and even integrate into CI/CD. There was no need to mock data or create dummy conditions. It was as if my app was telling its own story, and Keploy was simply listening and writing it down.
For the first time, testing didn’t feel like a burden. It felt like something natural, something that fit effortlessly into the way I build. And it made me wonder—why have we accepted testing as something painful for so long? Why did I ever believe that manual effort was the only reliable path?
Keploy showed me a different way. A smarter way. A way where I can focus on building confidently, knowing my APIs are being tested as they’re actually used—not just as I imagined them to be used.
If you’re someone who’s spent nights debugging broken mocks, chasing test failures you don’t fully understand, or doubting if your tests even reflect reality—I’ve been there. But now, I know it doesn’t have to be that way.
Keploy turned my frustration into flow. It helped me go from confusion to clarity, from reactive testing to proactive assurance. And honestly, it reminded me why I love building software in the first place.
