Octrafic is an open-source command-line interface designed specifically for API testing. Its main purpose is to simplify the API testing process by allowing users to describe their testing requirements in plain English rather than writing complex test scripts or using graphical interfaces.
Key features include the ability to describe tests in plain English without boilerplate or config files, generate an OpenAPI spec from source code, run tests non-interactively in CI/CD pipelines with a single command, and export tests to Postman, curl, or pytest formats for integration with existing toolchains. The tool also exports PDF reports and works with any LLM provider including OpenAI, Claude, Ollama, and llama.cpp.
Octrafic operates as a single binary with no runtime dependencies, requiring users to bring their own API key since nothing goes through external servers. The AI agent handles the entire testing workflow including planning scenarios, running real requests, validating responses, and exporting results.
The primary benefit is simplified API testing without the need for test scripts, GUI interfaces, or mocks. It can be pointed at any OpenAPI specification or live endpoint and handles the complete testing process automatically based on natural language descriptions.
Target users include developers and QA engineers working with APIs who want to streamline their testing workflow. The tool integrates with existing development pipelines and supports various export formats for compatibility with popular testing tools.
