Introduction

Zerocode is a modern, lightweight, and extensible open-source framework designed for writing executable test scenarios using simple JSON or YAML formats. It supports both declarative configuration and automation, making it user-friendly and efficient.

In essence, Zerocode simplifies the complexities of modern API and data-streaming automation, including Kafka. The framework seamlessly handles response validations, target API invocations, load/stress testing, and security testing, all through straightforward YAML/JSON/Fluent steps.

For example, if your REST API URL https://localhost:8080/api/v1/customers/123 with GET method and "Content-Type": "application/json" returns the following payload and a http status code 200(OK) ,

Response:
{
    "id": 123,
    "type": "Premium High Value",
    "addresses": [
        {
            "type":"home",
            "line1":"10 Random St"
        }
    ]
}

then, we can easily validate the above API using Zerocode like below.

• Using JSON

{
  "url": "api/v1/customers/123",
  "method": "GET",
  "request": {
    "headers": {
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
  },
  "retry": {
    "max": 3,
    "delay": 1000
  },
  "verify": {
    "status": 200,
    "headers": {
      "Content-Type" : [ "application/json; charset=utf-8" ]
    },
    "body": {
      "id": 123,
      "type": "Premium Visa",
      "addresses": [
        {
          "type": "Billing",
          "line1": "10 Random St"
        }
      ]
    }    
  },
  "verifyMode": "LENIENT"
}

• or Using YAML

---
url: api/v1/customers/123
method: GET
request:
  headers:
    Content-Type: application/json
retry:
  max: 3
  delay: 1000
verify:
  status: 200
  headers:
    Content-Type:
    - application/json; charset=utf-8
  body:
    id: 123
    type: Premium Visa
    addresses:
    - type: Billing
      line1: 10 Random St
verifyMode: LENIENT

The beauty here is, we can use the payload/headers structure for validation as it is without any manipulation or use a flat JSON path to skip the hassles of the entire object hierarchies.

Looks simple & easy? Why not give it a try? Visit the quick-start guide or user’s guide for more insight.

Zerocode-TDD is used by many companies such as Vocalink, HSBC, HomeOffice(Gov) and many others to achieve accurate production drop of their micro-services, data-pipelines etc.
