Runscope\u00a0is one of the popular solutions for API performance testing, monitoring and debugging. Runscope helps in creating, managing and executing functional API tests and monitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Runscope<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The most common use case where Runscope is used is to test the API. You can execute one or more HTTP requests sequentially to evaluate the performance, up time and correctness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users can define Assertions for each request; a test passes if all the assertion pass, a test fails if any of the assertion fail. Also users can schedule test can be used for ongoing monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One can define an assertion in a way which should have source and target values. Users can compare the extracted data with the target value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

User can create a test case as shown in below image<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After creating a test you will see a request step like below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"After<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

From here, you can give Endpoint url to test with request types either Get, Post, Put etc;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can define assertion by clicking on Assertion tab which has to compare target value with the requested value<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the request passes we get a status code of 200 for that request. If the request is bad we will get the status code of 400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
