API testing for QA testers — in plain English.
You already know how to test. You shouldn’t need a scripting language to test an API. Apidural turns an API into human-readable test cases, runs the real request, and decides pass/fail in code — so you can verify a backend without waiting on a developer.
From “I have to wait” to “I just tested it”
Waiting on a developer to check an API
Add the API yourself with plain questions — or import a Postman collection or cURL — and run it now.
Wrestling cryptic tools and JSON
Test cases read like sentences. A technical view is always one toggle away when you want the raw request.
Not trusting a green check
A computer fires the real request and decides pass/fail against your expectations — never AI guesswork.
Writing up results by hand
Every run produces a shareable pass/fail report — with your secrets stripped out, every time.
What you can do today
Everything here is live in the app right now — nothing on this list is “coming soon”.
Guided add-API
Answer a few plain questions to describe an API — no jargon, hover help on every field.
Plain-English test cases
Expectations written as sentences: “expect success”, “a user id is returned”, “responds within 2s”.
Real runs, code-decided
We send the actual request and a computer decides the verdict. Run one test or run them all.
Quick load testing
An honest, capped burst check on APIs you own — p95, slowest, error rate in plain English.
Sign-in vault
Authenticated APIs work. Credentials are encrypted, decrypted only in the worker, never sent to the AI.
Shareable reports
Export a self-contained report of a whole project — pass/fail, timings, secrets scrubbed.
Why you can trust the result
A computer decides pass or fail — never the AI.
The AI helps draft test cases and explain results in plain English. It never decides the verdict. Ordinary, predictable code checks the real response against your expectations. A green check means a machine verified it — the same rule, every run. And your API keys are only ever placeholders to the AI.
