About:
StepCI is an open-source, declarative API testing and monitoring tool that uses YAML-based configuration to define and run tests. It allows developers to automate functional testing, performance checks, and monitoring for APIs without writing complex code. The tool integrates into CI/CD pipelines to ensure API reliability and performance throughout the development lifecycle.
Key Features:
  • Declarative YAML configuration for tests
  • Automated CI/CD integration
  • Performance and load testing capabilities
  • Contract testing and schema validation
  • CLI and GitHub Actions support
Use Cases:
  • Automating API regression testing in CI/CD pipelines
  • Monitoring production API uptime and performance
  • Validating API contracts between microservices
Alternatives:
  • Postman – Postman offers a GUI-first approach with collections, while StepCI is code-first and Git-friendly with YAML configs.
  • Pact – Pact focuses on consumer-driven contract testing, whereas StepCI provides broader API testing including performance and monitoring.
  • Insomnia – Insomnia is a design and debugging client, while StepCI emphasizes automated, declarative testing workflows.
