As a developer who’s always juggling multiple tools, writing manual API tests felt like yet another chore until I discovered the Keploy API Testing Chrome Extension.
I picked two websites I use often, one for tracking crypto prices and another for browsing books. Both of them heavily rely on dynamic API calls to fetch data like token prices or book info. Normally, I’d open the network tab in DevTools, inspect each call, write down the endpoint, try to replicate it in Postman, and maybe just maybe write tests in my backend repo. The process was slow, repetitive, and honestly, kind of boring.
Keploy completely changed that.
With the extension installed, I just visited the sites like I normally would, and boom, Keploy started capturing API requests live in the background. It not only saved those requests but also gave me a clear view of headers, payloads, and responses. I didn’t have to manually document anything.
The coolest part? I could turn those live requests into tests with a single click. Keploy auto generates test cases from actual traffic, something that would take me hours to write by hand. It felt like jumping from 10 percent test coverage to nearly full coverage in a matter of minutes.
What I really loved was how "natural" the process felt. No switching tools, no copying tokens or headers, no setup hassle. It made testing a byproduct of normal browsing, something I’ve never seen before.
For someone who’s always preferred building features over writing tests, this changed how I look at quality assurance. Moving from manual tests to AI generated ones doesn’t just save time, it unlocks confidence. Confidence that my APIs are being validated without extra mental overhead.
Keploy might not replace all traditional testing just yet, but for anyone building or consuming APIs, it’s a game changer. Testing no longer feels like a burden. It feels automatic, fast, and kind of fun.
I'm genuinely excited to dig deeper into how AI can make development more seamless and this felt like a solid first step.
