Dasty is a Python package designed to simplify the process of testing APIs by allowing tests to be defined declaratively in YAML format. This approach makes API testing more accessible, maintainable, and efficient, especially for DevOps and full-stack development.
- Declarative Syntax: Define API tests in a simple, human-readable YAML format.
- Benchmarking: Measure performance metrics like response time and payload size.
- Flexible Test Scenarios: Support for various HTTP methods and validations.
- Dynamic Variable Passing: Extract values from responses for use in subsequent steps.
