Secured Template Based API Automation

Download secured API automation framework and one-click generation of positive and negative test scenarios

Secured Template Based API Automation helps developers and QA engineers automatically generate, organize, and execute API automation scenarios from a focused Chrome workspace. ✨ Key Features Highly Secured Framework using Vault and Encryption Logic. Increased Coverage i.e. One-click Generation of Positive and Negative Scenarios. Ability to View, Run and Review Test Results. User Friendly GUI, Easy to Maintain and Highly Scalable. 🖥️ Full-Page Workspace Select Open full page in the popup to open the workspace in a wider tab. 🔄 Workflow → Download the template-based API automation framework. → Configure token and application API details. → Select header and body JSON files. → Generate positive and negative API test scenarios. → Select a local folder containing Behave `.feature` files. → Run selected API scenarios through the local automation bridge. → Review step-by-step test results and pass/fail status. → Preserve test run history between extension sessions. → Review generated feature, step-definition, and configuration files. → Save updates to generated files. 🧭 Workspace Sections 📘 About API ⬇️ Download Framework ➕ Add API 🧪 Test Scenarios ▶️ Test Run 📘 About API The About API section introduces the workflow: define an API, generate scenarios, and run tests. It highlights support for using the connected framework's vault and encryption logic, along with one-click generation of positive and negative API scenarios. Example coverage includes mandatory and all-field requests, positive edge cases, end-to-end flows, and invalid or missing values, duplicate records, invalid URLs, and token errors. ⬇️ Download Framework The Download Framework section downloads the framework ZIP from the configured GitHub repository's main branch. The download source is fixed in the extension. After downloading, extract the ZIP and use Select folder to save the extracted framework folder location. After selecting the downloaded framework folder, start the bridge from that folder on Windows: .venv\Scripts\python.exe extension_bridge.py The default bridge address is http://127.0.0.1:8000. The bridge by default listens on http://127.0.0.1:8000. If that port is busy, run $env:EXTENSION_BRIDGE_PORT = '8001'; .venv\Scripts\python.exe extension_bridge.py and save http://127.0.0.1:8001 in Runner Settings. ⚙️ API Setup and Scenario Generation The Add API section lets users configure token and actual API details and select header and body JSON files. The extension stores API settings and generated files locally; selected JSON contents are sent to the configured local bridge when creating scenarios. 🧪 Feature Folders and Test Execution In Test Scenarios, choose a folder containing Behave .feature files. The extension loads matching files from nested folders, lists their scenarios, and lets users select which to run. The latest scenario list is saved locally. Use Refresh scenarios and select the folder again to scan for file changes. 🖥️ History Test results are shown in Test Run and history is kept locally as a fallback when the bridge is offline. ⚙️ Runner Settings and Reports Use the gear button to open Runner settings and configure the local backend URL. The default is http://127.0.0.1:8000; the URL must use localhost or 127.0.0.1. Run history is fetched from Behave JSON reports in reports/behave-results/ through the bridge's /api/history endpoint. The extension keeps a local fallback if the bridge is temporarily offline. The extension works with a local Behave automation framework. After selecting the framework folder, start the bridge from that folder: .venv\Scripts\python.exe extension_bridge.py The default local bridge address is: http://127.0.0.1:8000 Template Based API Automation is intended for local development and testing workflows. It does not replace a production test management system or hosted API testing platform.> .venv\Scripts\python.exe extension_bridge.py The default local bridge address is: http://127.0.0.1:8000 Template Based API Automation is intended for local development and testing workflows.
