About:
Inso is the command-line interface for Insomnia, a popular API design and testing tool. It enables developers to run automated testing, linting, and spec validation for API definitions directly within CI/CD pipelines. This tool is essential for enforcing API standards and ensuring consistency across development workflows.
|
Key Features:
- Run automated tests for OpenAPI and GraphQL specifications
- Lint API definitions to enforce style guides and best practices
- Execute test suites from the command line for seamless CI/CD integration
- Generate code snippets for various languages and frameworks
|
Use Cases:
- Integrating API contract testing into continuous integration pipelines
- Validating OpenAPI specifications for correctness and consistency
- Automating GraphQL schema checks as part of a development workflow
