HTTP testing

HTTP testing tools verify the behavior of web APIs and services by sending real HTTP requests and asserting against the responses. They range from declarative YAML-based suites to scriptable clients, and complement unit tests by exercising the full request/response cycle including headers, status codes, and body content.

Interesting

Gabbi is a tool for running HTTP tests where requests and responses are expressed as declarations in YAML files:
