About Apidural — and the person behind it
The short version.Apidural is a plain-English, AI-assisted API testing tool built for people who aren’t developers — QAs, product managers, business analysts, and founders who need to test APIs but don’t want to learn Postman, cURL, or code. You describe what you want to test in plain English; Apidural handles the technical part, runs it reliably, and gives you the results in plain English.
Who’s building it
I’m Gaurav— a Technical Project Manager and Agile delivery lead with 12+ years across software delivery, QA, and program management. I’ve spent my career watching non-technical teammates struggle with API testing tools built only for engineers. Apidural is my answer to that gap.
A deliberate side project — built like a real product, not a weekend hack
I’m building Apidural alongside my work — but I’m building it the way I’d run any serious program:
A clear product thesis, scope, and roadmap
A defined problem, a focused first release, and a written plan for what comes next — not feature-by-feature guesswork.
Full documentation from day one
Business requirements, functional specs, architecture, and a security model — all maintained as the product evolves, not bolted on later.
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.
Security-and-privacy-first design
Your secrets are encrypted, never sent to any AI model, and never written to logs, exports, or shared reports.
A phased, honest roadmap
A focused MVP first, then load testing, integrations, and scale — architected today so it can grow without being rebuilt.
In other words: small in scope today, but architected, documented, and future-ready — so it can grow into something much larger without being rebuilt.
Where this is headed
My focus right now is building something genuinely useful and getting it into the hands of real users. If you’re hiring for product or delivery and want to see how I actually work, I’d love to talk. I’m also glad to hear from early users, collaborators, or anyone — investors included — who sees where this could go.
