To be honest, I understand APIpost because, under all my interface-related articles, there are comments on the APIpost navy. It is nothing more than APIpost is the Chinese version of postman, how useful it is, although we are not some Internet celebrities. , but I didn’t know how to advertise in the comment area without knowing it. I was really angry and deleted all posts.
However, after watching a lot, I have the urge to pretend to have a look, so I am more friendly to this Chinese version, and I will never get tired of it to know the perseverance of the hotness, and experience this Chinese version of postman, after all, there are many. Few friends and colleagues around me complain that postman is an English version, which is difficult to use. Even if it can be cracked, it is not very convenient. There is a pure Chinese version and an interface testing tool that is not difficult to use, even if it is not as good as postman and jmeter Or even if the function is similar, it is also a rare good tool.
But seeing the official website surprised me even more, Apipost=postman+swagger+mock+jmeter, this whole big integration, if it is as awesome as the official website says, will you give up postman and jmeter decisively?
However, looking at the several parts given in the function description, it is not bad. Among them, the API design and documentation should be regarded as a relatively bright spot. API debugging and automation should be available in other tools, which is not considered innovative.
1. API design
API development and design first, pre-defined API documents, response to expected data results, support for json-schema, support for local/cloud mocking, and truly achieve testing while designing. Isn’t this formal that we want to test as soon as possible? I feel that this team should have something Engineers with few test backgrounds have solid basic theories.
2. API debugging
Fast and efficient debugging and development, faster response, common parameters, built-in scripts, variable references, parameter description libraries, support for multiple protocols, this should be his core interface test, it is nothing more than the same support as postman and jmeter For various interface methods of HTTP and HTTPs, at most some other protocol tests are introduced, and js scripts are added to do more complicated data processing.
3. Automated testing
Professional and easy test acceptance, supports single-stream test, combined test, intelligent test report, condition, loop, assertion and other multi-scenario controllers. This is good, at least stronger than the runner in postman. After all, it supports conditions, It's looped, but it feels less flexible than jmeter.
4. API documentation
Documents with full collaboration efficiency, standardization of real-time synchronization, brand-new visual experience, support for passwords, and personalized sharing. Bring more amazing effect.
Looking at the applicable scenarios of apipost, it basically covers the main roles of front-end, back-end and testing. It can be regarded as five chapters, covering all aspects, but I feel that postman and jmeter are also good.
But when I saw this function comparison chart on the official website, my jaw dropped a bit. If I say that I am good, I will not highlight myself by touching the big names in the porcelain industry. It is better to make products well, and more people will naturally use them. , Because I don’t know much about it, my opinion may change in the follow-up use process, so I’m optimistic about you.
There is nothing to say about the installation. Just download the version corresponding to your own from the official website. I will directly download the latest version of windows 64-bit, and then customize the installation. The middle is basically the next step, and there is no need to change anything.
Well, let’s finish this article first. Quandang briefly introduces a domestic interface testing tool and some of my own opinions, and will continue to update the detailed usage of apipost later.
