A tool built from real testing pain — by someone who lived it.
Hi, I’m Gaurav — I've delivered QA and product quality across teams, and spent years watching non-developers get locked out of API testing.
Why I’m building this
Early in my career I worked in QA and API testing, and I kept hitting the same wall: the tools assumed you already spoke “developer”. Testers, product managers, business analysts, and founders who needed to check an API simply couldn’t — they waited on an engineer, and quality slipped through the gap. That gap never left me.
Apidural is my answer. It’s built from my own QA and API-testing experience — a deliberate project I’m using to sharpen my QA product delivery, project and product-management skills by taking a real product from a blank page to a live, real-world service: the strategy, the specs, the architecture, the security model, the build, and the go-to-market. It’s small in scope today, but built like a real product, not a weekend hack.
Built like a real product
I run this the way I’d run any serious program — with a plan, a paper trail, and standards I can point to:
Full documentation, from day one
A source of truth, business requirements, functional specs, architecture, and a written security model — all kept current as the product evolves, not bolted on later.
JIRA-managed, ticket-first delivery
Every unit of work is an epic, story, or task in JIRA — planned, tracked, and closed with a completion note. The same discipline I'd run any program with.
Security-first, and I prove it
Secrets are encrypted, never sent to any AI, and scrubbed from logs, exports, and shared reports. I run my own security reviews — see the security promise.
Deterministic, reliability-first engineering
A computer decides every pass/fail — never AI guesswork. A testing tool you can't trust is worthless, so trust is engineered in.
Test Plans, Test Cases & QA management
Built like a real QA tool: organize APIs into projects and folders, draft and run test cases, group them into suites, track regression, and share plain-language pass/fail reports stakeholders actually read.
Want the evidence? Read the security promise — the full, standalone security report is on the way.
A side project, free for the QA community
Apidural is just a side project, created with one motive: to serve the QA community for free. There’s nothing to sell and no company behind it — it exists so testers, product folks, and anyone less technical can do real API testing without a paywall in the way.
I’m a working professional with full commitment to my organization. Apidural is built entirely in my personal time, as my way of giving something back to the community I come from.
