Improve Your API Testing Strategy
Enterprise software needs to innovate quickly to stay competitive, which makes manual testing of APIs inefficient. Therefore, you need a powerful platform to eliminate testing bottlenecks. Don’t change your process – improve it.
One platform for the entire enterprise, across all teams.
Cloud or On-Premises
Functional Testing + Load Testing + Mocking
Read our Case Study outlining some of the most common and costly errors companies see today.

- Web-based platform for true company collaboration
- Company-wide access to testing and monitoring
- User access permissions for internal security
- Easy to use interface for any skill level
- Add automation to the entire lifecycle, from development to production monitoring
- Integrates with enterprise tools – API managers, ticketing software, and notification platforms
- Use existing tests as load tests
Load and Performance Testing
- Eliminate scripting by reusing your existing API functional tests
- Test the performance of APIs under load before releasing to production
- Automate load tests for better coverage by integrating into your CI pipeline with tools like Jenkins or Bamboo
- No licensing restrictions
- Unlimited calls/executions on-premises
API Virtualization / Mocking Services
- Mock and simulate error messages for APIs you do not own
- Deploy 3rd party mock APIs in environments where the real API cannot go
- Start writing tests before the API has been developed
- Overcome 3rd party API constraints (rate limits/costs) or downtime
- Free 3rd party API mocks for your performance tests
- No licensing restrictions
- Unlimited calls/executions on-premises
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work in the cloud or on-premises?
Either! Our platform can run entirely from apifortress.com, where we will handle hosting and updates, or it can be deployed internally using a simple Docker.
What if we’re using SoapUI?
SoapUI is a great free tool, but it was built before microservices and REST APIs became the norm. It is showing its age, and now it’s time for you to adapt along with your infrastructure. We offer a lot of huge benefits compared to SoapUI. Read our blog to learn more.
What if we’re using Postman?
Postman is a great tool during API development, but it isn’t build to become your enterprise-wide solution for API testing. That is what API Fortress does. Reuse your Postman Collections to kick off API test creation. Read about our advantages on the blog.
Is it secure?
API Fortress is the only tool that offers team collaboration with maximum security. That is because you can choose to deploy the platform internally, behind your own firewalls. Nothing leaves your environment, but your entire company can all login to the same platform.
How does data work?
Data can be used in your tests however you choose. Use API calls to generate test data, connect to a JDBC database, link to a CSV, or even enter data in manually. The most flexible platform when it comes to data sources.
How does oAuth work?
The platform was built to make integration testing simple, which means having the flexibility to handle as many steps and calls as necessary. Need a POST to generate a token and then use the token in a subsequent GET’s header? Easy. It took longer to write that sentence than do the work.
Can it work with SOAP APIs?
Yes, API Fortress is built for today’s architectures, but is entirely compatible with the SOAP protocol and any XML response format.
Can it generate tests from a spec file?
Yes, the platform generate a test for you from nearly any spec format. Swagger/OAI, RAML, API Blueprint, WSDL, and even a Postman Collection.
Can we generate reports?
Of course! Our powerful dashboard makes it simple to organize data on uptime, performance, and functionality in moments. Link to the data or print a report. Full insight as to the health of your organization’s APIs.
