14 Best API Mocking Tools In 2026 (Open Source And Paid)

Oct 12, 2026 By Keploy In Keploy
Your frontend is ready, but the backend endpoint it depends on ships next sprint. Your QA team wants to test a payment flow, but the third party sandbox is down again. Your CI pipeline fails twice a week because a staging database returned different data. All three problems have the same fix: an API mocking tool. API mocking tools let you simulate an API, or any dependency your service talks to, so you can build and test without waiting on the real thing. The hard part is picking one.

Turn Real API Traffic Into Tests on Kubernetes | Keploy Demo

Oct 10, 2026 By Keploy In Keploy
Test your whole backend without starting any of it. In this demo, Keploy records real API traffic from an order service running on Kubernetes and turns it into API tests and dependency mocks automatically: MySQL, HTTP and DNS calls included. Then it replays those tests against a digital twin of the backend, so nothing else needs to be running.

10 Best BDD Testing Tools In 2026 (Compared By Language)

Oct 9, 2026 By Keploy In Keploy
For years, picking a BDD testing tool was a two-option decision: Cucumber if you wrote Java, JavaScript, or Ruby, and SpecFlow if you lived in.NET. That changed when SpecFlow reached end of life in December 2024, and newer stacks like Playwright and Go now have their own BDD options. This guide compares the 10 BDD testing tools worth considering in 2026. Every tool runs the same example scenario, so you can compare the code side by side, and each entry ends with who it suits and what it costs you.

How to Manage and Secure AI Coding Agents

Oct 8, 2026 By Kong In Kong
AI coding tool spend is projected to top $13 billion in 2026, compounding at more than 60% a year. These agents don't just autocomplete a line of code anymore. They plan. They act. They call tools, run commands, and touch other systems on your behalf. This is pretty different from the assistant that used to live in your IDE sidebar. And that's exactly where the risk lives. An AI coding agent is software that writes, tests, and ships code independently. This level of autonomy earlier tools never had.

How to Use an On-Prem Database With Lovable

Oct 8, 2026 By DreamFactory | AI & Applications Data Gateway In DreamFactory
Connect Lovable to an on-prem SQL Server database without opening a single firewall port or handing over a database password. In this video I put DreamFactory in front of a SQL Server database on my local network, generate a REST API from it, lock that API down with a read-only role and a scoped API key, then have Lovable build a live delivery operations dashboard on top of it. Lovable calls the API from a server-side function, so the key never reaches the browser.

Connect AI Studio to On-Prem SQL Server (No Open Ports)

Oct 8, 2026 By DreamFactory | AI & Applications Data Gateway In DreamFactory
Connect Google AI Studio to an on-prem SQL Server database without opening a single firewall port or handing over a database password. In this video I put DreamFactory in front of a SQL Server database on my local network, generate a REST API from it, lock that API down with a read-only role and a scoped API key, then I have AI Studio build a live delivery operations dashboard on top of it. AI Studio calls the API from its own Node server, so the key never reaches the browser.
