Open Source Python Software Testing Tools for Linux

Automatically mock your HTTP interactions to simplify and speed up testing. VCR.py simplifies and speeds up tests that make HTTP requests. The first time you run code that is inside a VCR.py context manager or decorated function, VCR.py records all HTTP interactions that take place through the libraries it supports and serializes and writes them to a flat file (in yaml format by default). This flat file is called a cassette. When the relevant piece of code is executed again, VCR.py will read the serialized requests and responses from the aforementioned cassette file, and intercept any HTTP requests that it recognizes from the original test run and return the responses that corresponded to those requests. This means that the requests will not actually result in HTTP traffic, which confers several benefits including:

HTTP Prompt is an interactive command-line HTTP client featuring autocomplete and syntax highlighting. You'll never have to memorize the whole commands and HTTP headers thanks to autocomplete with fuzzy matching. Improve readability by rendering JSON, HTML and commands with 27 builtin color themes, borrowed from Pygments. Designed to work with and built on top of HTTPie, HTTP Prompt makes a perfect companion for HTTPie. Cookie-based authentication made easy as incoming cookies are automatically set into your next request. With pipelines and output redirection, HTTP Prompt works seamlessly with your existing command line tools such as jq. Specify an OpenAPI/Swagger specification then you'll be able to explore API endpoints with ls like a filesystem.
