Hello everyone, I'm Xiaomeng. When it comes to API management tools, it can be said that a hundred schools of thought contend, each has its own merits, which one should I use?
Today, I will share with you an artifact, API management and automated testing tool Eolink that I have been using recently during development. If you want to fish, you must improve efficiency, and if you want to improve efficiency, use this artifact!
At present, SaaS products are completely free. You can use the web version or download the desktop terminal. Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms are supported!

01.Eolink and its innovative ideas
Eolink is a professional one-stop API collaboration platform. As early as 2016, its team released the first domestic open source product Eoapi that integrates Swagger+Postman+Mock+Jmeter single-point tools, and it was officially released in 2017 The world's first online API full life cycle management platform,
In response to the pain points in API R&D collaboration, Eolink proposed an innovative concept: Documentation and Test-Driven Development (DTDD), which is simply:
-
Use standard documents to replace verbal agreements and note-taking documents, so that development, testing, operation and maintenance, and collaboration can be traced;
-
Quickly use the test results to promote the development progress, make the team communicate more fully, manage with factual basis, and realize agile development.
This set of concepts has been verified by a large number of users, and the following API development and testing process has gradually formed, which better integrates the back-end, front-end, and testing teams.
02 API R&D test ceiling
At present, there are many API R&D tools on the market, but Eolink has still achieved better in terms of functional depth, breadth and user experience, especially for batch operations and repeated work, a large number of automation and intelligent improvements have been carried out. In fact, whether a product has been carefully polished and whether the experience is good or not can be known as soon as you get started. Let's see how strong Eolink really is!
- Supports all types of API document management
No matter what language is used for development, whether it is HTTPS, Websocket, TCP, UDP and other protocols, or any specifications such as Restful, SOAP, WebService, etc., Eolink can assist the team to manage quickly, uniformly and standardized.
- One-click to initiate API test, get through API documentation and test
Eolink can initiate a test with one click, support automatic generation of test data, and perform encryption, decryption, signature, etc. processing on request messages and return results through Javascript code. One-click launch makes tedious API testing simple and smooth.
- 0 code automation testing, one-click large-scale regression testing
When the API changes, the API regression test can be performed with one click, and the system will automatically judge the return result according to the rules and generate a test report, which is convenient for the team to quickly understand the impact scope of the API change, which can reduce the testing time by more than 95%!
- Generate Mock API based on API documentation
Eolink supports a very powerful dynamic Mock API, which can automatically return different HTTP Status Code, Header, Body and other data according to different request parameters, and supports the creation of multiple Mock APIs in one API document.
- Powerful cookie management function
When testing APIs that require cookies, Eolink supports adding required cookie information in cookie management, the system will automatically store cookies, and will automatically pass cookie request parameters when testing other APIs with the same domain name next time.

03 Fascinating little highlights of Eolink
I also found a few hidden highlights of Eolink, which are particularly fragrant to use! It is usually used by Xiaomeng, and the specific functions include notifications, comments, historical version comparison, testing, data-driven, and project analysis reports.
I put the picture directly, and everyone will understand it at a glance.
When API changes, relevant members will be automatically notified by email and in-site letter, and QQ and Feishu have been connected
Post comments directly on the API documentation, and the communication content will be archived with different versions of the API documentation
Roll back to view the historical version of the API document, and intelligently find the difference between different versions of the document
Eolink supports timed test tasks, or integrates the API automated test platform into Jenkins to trigger the test when code is submitted, realize automatic testing of projects under unattended conditions, and liberate labor
Through data-driven simulation of various scenarios, we can see the execution of scenario use cases, avoid empty running of the test process, and make test cases closer to reality
Powerful statistical analysis functions of project data and eye-catching visual presentation, the team development work is clear at a glance
Of course, the functions of Eolink are much more than that, and there are many highlights to explore.

04 The world's first API full life cycle management platform
In addition to API management and automated testing services, Eolink is also the world's first SaaS platform for API lifecycle management, providing services including API gateway, API monitoring, and API automatic generation. Xiaomeng used it, call 666
So far, the Eolink I use is really fragrant! So I recommend it to my friends.
