Keploy intercepts live HTTP/HTTPS traffic at the network layer (via eBPF or proxy middleware) to capture request-response pairs in real-time without code instrumentation. It records full request bodies, headers, query parameters, response payloads, and timing metadata, storing them in a normalized format for later replay and test generation. This approach enables zero-modification capture of production or staging traffic without requiring developers to add logging code.
Unique: Uses kernel-level eBPF hooks to capture traffic without proxy overhead or code changes, enabling transparent recording at near-native performance compared to proxy-based alternatives that require explicit configuration
vs alternatives: Captures production traffic with lower latency overhead than proxy-based tools like mitmproxy or Fiddler, and requires zero application code changes unlike instrumentation-based approaches
Keploy analyzes captured HTTP traffic to automatically generate executable test cases by extracting request patterns, response assertions, and dependency chains. It uses heuristics to identify test boundaries (e.g., transaction start/end), deduplicates similar requests, and generates parameterized test templates that cover multiple scenarios from a single traffic sample. The generated tests are output in standard formats (Go test files, JavaScript Jest, etc.) with assertions on status codes, response schemas, and latency thresholds.
Unique: Generates language-specific test code (not just test data) with automatic assertion inference from response patterns, and deduplicates similar requests to create parameterized test templates rather than one test per request
vs alternatives: Produces executable, runnable tests in native language syntax unlike generic test data generators, and automatically infers assertions from response patterns rather than requiring manual assertion specification
Keploy extracts response payloads from captured traffic and generates mock stubs (test doubles) that simulate external service behavior without requiring live dependencies. It creates stub definitions that match request patterns to canned responses, supports response templating for dynamic values (e.g., timestamps, IDs), and integrates with testing frameworks to inject mocks during test execution. Stubs are versioned and can be updated as APIs evolve, enabling tests to run offline and in parallel without coordinating with external services.
Unique: Generates stubs directly from captured production traffic rather than requiring manual mock definition, and provides automatic request-to-response matching with template-based dynamic values
vs alternatives: Eliminates manual mock creation compared to tools like Mockoon or WireMock, and captures realistic response patterns from actual API behavior rather than requiring developers to predict responses
Keploy normalizes captured traffic by identifying and deduplicating semantically identical requests that differ only in non-essential fields (e.g., timestamps, session IDs, request IDs). It applies configurable rules to extract request signatures, groups similar requests, and generates parameterized test templates that represent multiple traffic samples with a single test case. This reduces test suite bloat and improves maintainability by consolidating redundant test cases into reusable patterns.
Unique: Applies semantic deduplication to traffic rather than simple equality checks, grouping requests that differ only in non-essential fields and generating parameterized test templates from clusters
vs alternatives: Reduces test suite size more aggressively than naive deduplication by understanding request semantics, and automatically generates parameterized tests rather than requiring manual test refactoring
Keploy executes generated tests while replaying captured traffic to satisfy inter-request dependencies (e.g., using a user ID returned from one request in subsequent requests). It maintains state across test steps, injects captured responses for external dependencies, and validates that the system under test produces expected outputs given the replayed inputs. This enables end-to-end testing of workflows that span multiple API calls without requiring manual state setup or fixture management.
Unique: Automatically infers and replays inter-request dependencies from captured traffic sequences rather than requiring manual fixture setup, enabling end-to-end workflow testing without explicit state management code
vs alternatives: Eliminates manual state setup and fixture management compared to traditional integration tests, and automatically discovers dependencies from traffic patterns rather than requiring developers to specify them
Keploy maintains version history of generated test cases and detects regressions by comparing current test execution results against baseline results from previous versions. It tracks which tests changed, which assertions failed, and provides diff views showing what changed in requests, responses, or assertions. This enables teams to identify unintended behavior changes and validate that refactoring or updates don't break existing functionality.
Unique: Automatically tracks test case versions and compares execution results against baselines to detect regressions, providing diff-based visibility into what changed rather than just pass/fail status
vs alternatives: Provides regression detection without requiring manual baseline specification, and shows detailed diffs of what changed unlike simple pass/fail reporting in standard test frameworks
Keploy generates test code in multiple programming languages (Go, Node.js, Python) using language-specific testing frameworks (Go testing, Jest, pytest) and assertion libraries. It produces idiomatic code that follows language conventions, integrates with native test runners, and generates tests that can be committed to version control and run in standard CI/CD pipelines. The generated code includes proper imports, setup/teardown logic, and assertion syntax specific to each language.
Unique: Generates idiomatic, language-specific test code that integrates with native testing frameworks rather than producing generic test data or framework-agnostic test definitions
vs alternatives: Produces runnable tests in native language syntax unlike generic test generators, and integrates with standard test runners (Go test, Jest, pytest) rather than requiring a custom test execution engine
Keploy infers API request/response schemas from captured traffic and validates that subsequent requests and responses conform to the inferred contracts. It detects schema violations (unexpected fields, type mismatches, missing required fields) and generates schema definitions (JSON Schema, OpenAPI) from traffic patterns. This enables contract-based testing without requiring explicit API specifications, and detects breaking changes when APIs evolve.
Unique: Infers API schemas directly from captured traffic patterns rather than requiring manual specification, and validates contracts against observed behavior to detect breaking changes
vs alternatives: Eliminates manual OpenAPI spec writing compared to contract-first approaches, and detects breaking changes automatically unlike static specifications that require manual updates
