Open Source Software Testing Tools

API Blueprint. A powerful high-level API description language for web APIs. API Blueprint is simple and accessible to everybody involved in the API lifecycle. Its syntax is concise yet expressive. With API Blueprint you can quickly design and prototype APIs to be created or document and test already deployed mission-critical APIs. API Blueprint is built to encourage dialogue and collaboration between project stakeholders, developers and customers at any point in the API lifecycle. At the same time, the API Blueprint tools provide the support to achieve the goals be it API development, governance or delivery. API Blueprint is completely open sourced under the MIT license. Its future is transparent and open. API Blueprint doesn't need a closed work group. Instead it uses the RFC process similar to Rust language or Django Enhancement Proposal RFC processes.

The AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) CLI is an open-source CLI tool that helps you develop serverless applications containing Lambda functions, Step Functions, API Gateway, EventBridge, SQS, SNS and more. The AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) is an open-source framework for building serverless applications. It provides shorthand syntax to express functions, APIs, databases, and event source mappings. With just a few lines per resource, you can define the application you want and model it using YAML. During deployment, SAM transforms and expands the SAM syntax into AWS CloudFormation syntax, enabling you to build serverless applications faster. To get started with building SAM-based applications, use the SAM CLI. SAM CLI provides a Lambda-like execution environment that lets you locally build, test, debug, and deploy AWS serverless applications.

Bert Client is a standalone software for Windows that allows you to quickly and easily test REST API calls. It is an alternative to more complex tools like Postman, but is designed to be simple and straightforward, allowing you to make adhoc POST and GET requests and receive the response in a straightforward way. Bert Client is perfect for developers who want a lightweight and easy-to-use tool for testing their APIs. With Bert Client, you can quickly test your API endpoints without having to worry about setting up complex configurations or dealing with a steep learning curve. Bert Client supports sending requests with an Authorization token, making it easy to test APIs that require authentication. The response from the API is displayed in a user-friendly format, making it easy to see the results of your API calls.
