Akto offers you the ability to add your own tests as YAML files, hence, allowing you to execute your personalized tests alongside the automated tests developed by Akto against your API collections. This functionality streamlines the testing process and increases the efficiency of identifying and addressing potential security vulnerabilities in your APIs.
Akto's test library is an extensive collection of tests that allows for security testing without writing code. It is a useful resource for testers who want to quickly select from various test scenarios to test different parts of software or systems. This approach saves time and ensures a more efficient testing process.
A Test Library is essential for several reasons:
Time Efficiency: Security engineers can easily select from various pre-existing test scenarios, avoiding the time-consuming task of creating security test cases from the initial phase.
Focused Testing: You can target a particular API or a set of APIs (workflow) for security testing.
Enhanced Productivity: By leveraging the Test Library, security engineers can optimize their efforts, ensuring a more efficient and thorough testing process.
Today we have the following test categories in our library, each one having multiple tests:
1.
2.
