Beeceptor is a mock server and service virtualization platform that helps QA teams simulate APIs, increase coverate, remove backend dependencies and shift left, and test integrations earlier in the development cycle. It is used by QA engineers, SDETs, automation teams, and frontend developers who need predictable, configurable API behavior without relying on real upstream systems. Beeceptor provides virtual services (service replicas) for REST, GraphQL, SOAP, gRPC, and other protocols, allowing QA teams to move forward independently and reduce delays caused by external dependencies. The platform is suitable for shift-left testing, CI pipelines, contract validation, and performance workflows where controlled API responses are required. ## Key capabilities include: 1. Multi-protocol support across REST APIs, OpenAPI-generated mocks, GraphQL schemas, SOAP/WSDL, gRPC, CRUD routes, and Mutual TLS. 2. Stateful mock servers that store per-request variables, lists, and counters to simulate multi-step workflows. 3. AI-generated mock data that reads schema structures and produces realistic, context-aware JSON responses. 4. No-code and low-code configuration using visual rules, with deeper customization via a template engine that supports IF/ELSE, SWITCH, REPEAT, and JSON operators. 5. Support for delays, error responses, conditional logic, data correlation, and dynamic payload generation. 6. Creating a Mock Service directory, multi-level mock services, test data management, and having full governance model. ## Benefits for QA and engineering teams: - Faster test execution cycles by removing reliance on real backend systems. - Parallel development and integration testing across distributed services. - Consistent, reproducible responses that support automated testing and CI/CD pipelines. - Improved coverage of edge cases, negative paths, latency conditions, and schema-driven scenarios. - Reduced cost and reduced usage of rate-limited or metered third-party APIs. ## Security Beeceptor includes enterprise-grade security features suitable for regulated environments. It supports SSO/SAML, audit logs, IP access controls, header masking, and role-based access. All data in transit and at rest is encrypted. Beeceptor is compliant with SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 requirements. Enterprises can deploy Beeceptor in the cloud or in on-premise environments that require isolated infrastructure and unlimited usage.
