Why Bruno for Mock API Testing?

Committed to Git

Collections live as plain text files in your repo folder. Review API test changes in pull requests just like application code.

Zero Cloud Lock-in

Data stays strictly on your local disk. No forced cloud logins, team workspace limits, or proprietary storage formats.

CLI Runner Included

Execute test runs in CI/CD using the open-source @usebruno/cli without licensing fees.

Sample Bru Request Definition

Requests in Bruno use human-readable plain text syntax with inline assertions:

posts/create-post.bru

meta {

name: Create Stateful Post

});

31
expect(res.getBody().id).to.be.a('number');
32
});

}
