allrounder

It validate everything. From rest call to dbvalidation to system commands to unit tests. Just almost everything.

Why Allrounder ?

Act as simple REST Client

Just defined the request, with all entries eg url, method, body, headers then after execution, debug the response.

You can pipe the sesion from one execution to another

Yes, can pipe the sessions. So that you can pass the session variables to another execution.

allrounder -p pipeFile.json myfile.json

Re-usable components

You can re-use a component (set of test cases) in a number of test suites. So you don't have to write same test case everywhere. Plus when its to modify, its a single place change.

Can use variables also for objects and at any depth

It uses templist engine to resolve the variables at run time.

Extractors

You can chain a set of variables from one test case to another and even on other test suite

Assertions

You can setup the various assertions with easy to use jsonpath syntax, as all the results are always available as json format.

Purely data driven

As you provide json file for your test cases and all sort of configurations, allrounder supports purely data driven approach.

Remote json

You can fetch the json file from remote server as well.

allrounder -f http://myrestserver.com/allrounder-test-file.json

Looping

You can loop through a set of array or number for single or batch of test cases

Act as curl for windows users and also as a "simplified" curl

Execute a request right on command line, with the simplest format

allrounder -e [method] https://myrestcallurl?withquery=parametersifany [<JSON-stringified-headers-or-jsonfilepath>] [<JSON-stringified-paylaod-or-jsonfilepath>]

Can do database validation

Set type as db in test and provide a dbname eg mongodb, dbconfig, and payload in request entry.

Can call system commands

Set type as command in test and provide a payload as string of complete command in request entry.

Suitable for unit testing as well

Provide the require as which file to require, method as which method to test, payload as the arguments to pass, async to instruct if the call is async or not, constructor to tell if we are creating a new instance and so on.

All in one tool

Say you want to do REST validation, db validation, also want to do unit testing, and also want to execute system commands, you don't need to hunt for various different tools, just go for allrounder. Its an all in one tool.

Granular level debugging

You can provide jsonpath syntax to debug very specifically what you want to debug

Support of javascript APIs

You can customize the request, jsonquery etc as per your requirement with javascript APIs

Pre and Post hooks

You can defined pre and post hook function handlers which initializing the options. That comes when you use javascript APIs.

Conditon based execution

You can setup condition based execution for any test case, with the property condition which is evaluated dynamically.

Beautifull reporting

Internally it uses mocha to display the results and diff beautifully on command line.

Easy to understand

Its easy to understand a json file rather lines of code. So keeping data in jsonfile is always a smart choice. Yes, when it comes to utility functions in rare advance cases, it requires a little learning. But anyways the positive side is the freedome of customization.

Langauge independent

Don't you think that being programming language independent is good move.
