Keploy

⚡️ API tests faster than unit tests, from user traffic ⚡️

🌟 The must-have tool for developers in the AI-Gen era for 90% test coverage 🌟

---

Keploy is a developer‑centric API and integration testing tool that auto‑generates tests and data‑mocks faster than unit tests.

It records API calls, database queries, and streaming events — then replays them as tests. Under the hood, Keploy uses eBPF to capture traffic at the network layer, but for you it’s completely code‑less and language‑agnostic.

🐰 Fun fact: Keploy uses itself for testing! Check out our swanky coverage badge:

Key Highlights

🎯 No code changes

Just run your app with keploy record. Real API + integration flows are automatically captured as tests and mocks. (Keploy uses eBPF under the hood to capture traffic, so you don’t need to add any SDKs or modify code.)

📹 Record and Replay complex Flows

Keploy can record and replay complex, distributed API flows as mocks and stubs. It's like having a very light-weight time machine for your tests—saving you tons of time!

🐇 Complete Infra‑Virtualization (beyond HTTP mocks)

Unlike tools that only mock HTTP endpoints, Keploy records databases (Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB), streaming/queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ), external APIs, and more.

It replays them deterministically so you can run tests without re‑provisioning infra.

🧪 Combined Test Coverage

If you’re a developer, you probably care about statement and branch coverage — Keploy calculates that for you.

If you’re a QA, you focus more on API schema and business use‑case coverage — Keploy calculates that too. This way coverage isn’t subjective anymore.

🤖 Expand API Coverage using AI

Keploy uses existing recordings, Swagger/OpenAPI Schema to find: boundary values, missing/extra fields, wrong types, out‑of‑order sequences, retries/timeouts.

This helps expand API Schema, Statement, and Branch Coverage.

Quick Start

1. Install Keploy Agent

curl --silent -O -L https://keploy.io/install.sh && source install.sh

2. Record Test Cases

Start your app under Keploy to convert real API calls into tests and mocks.

keploy record -c "CMD_TO_RUN_APP"

Example for Python:

keploy record -c "python main.py"

3. Run Tests

Run tests offline without external dependencies.

keploy test -c "CMD_TO_RUN_APP" --delay 10

Languages & Frameworks (Any stack)

Because Keploy intercepts at the network layer (eBPF), it works with any language, framework, or runtime—no SDK required.

Note: Some of the dependencies are not open-source by nature because their protocols and parsings are not open-sourced. It's not supported in Keploy enterprise.
