Backend and API testing can be tedious—especially when dealing with multi-step workflows, deep validation of API responses, and complex edge cases. We've built qapir.io to make this easier, offering a no-code solution for defining and running backend and API tests without writing any code.

What It Offers:

* No-Code Test Creation – Define backend tests with an intuitive YAML-based syntax.

* Support for Complex Scenarios – Easily test multi-step API workflows and chained API calls.

* Human-Readable Reporting – Clear, structured test reports that make debugging easier.

* Support for multiple protocols - Currently supports plain HTTP and GraphQL, planning to support: SQL, Redis, Kafka, etc.

* An actively developing set of features – Upcoming features: Dashboard with Test-Results, Configurable HTTP-Mocks, and a solution for receiving and validating webhooks - Webhook-Interceptor

Why Use It:

If you need a way to test backend services without maintaining a ton of code, qapir.io provides a simple, structured approach. It’s designed to handle everything from basic API checks to more advanced multi-step scenarios—all while keeping tests readable and easy to maintain.

You guys need to fix your homepage, put a video or a page which walks the user through a sample API and what the tests for that API look like.

Right now you just have doc which tells the user you need to install it first.

Why doesn't your homepage tell me what your product does? Why should I have to sign up to find out?

I need to know about the value your product provides before I decide on whether to sign up or not.
