FuzzyMonkey is an automated API testing service that behaves as your users would and minimizes sequences of calls that lead to a violation of your software's properties.

monkey is the official open source client that executes the tests FuzzyMonkey generates.

Getting started

Recommended way: using the GitHub Action.

Quick install:

curl -#fL https://git.io/FuzzyMonkey | BINDIR=/usr/local/bin sh

# or the equivalent:
curl -#fL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FuzzyMonkeyCo/monkey/master/.godownloader.sh | BINDIR=/usr/local/bin sh

With Docker:

DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build -o=/usr/local/bin --platform=local https://github.com/FuzzyMonkeyCo/monkey.git

# or the faster:
DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build -o=/usr/local/bin --platform=local --build-arg PREBUILT=1 https://github.com/FuzzyMonkeyCo/monkey.git

Or simply install the latest release.

Configuration

monkey uses Starlark as its configuration language: a simple Python-like deterministic language.

Minimal example fuzzymonkey.star file

OpenAPIv3(
  name = "dev_spec",
  file = "openapi/openapi.yaml",
  host = "http://localhost:3000",

  ExecReset = "curl -fsSL -X DELETE http://localhost:3000/api/1/items",
)

Demos

A more involved fuzzymonkey.star

# Invariants of our APIs expressed in a Python-like language

assert that(monkey.env("TESTING_WHAT", "demo")).is_equal_to("demo")
SPEC = "pkg/runtime/testdata/jsonplaceholder.typicode.comv1.0.0_openapiv3.0.1_spec.yml"
print("Using {}.".format(SPEC))

monkey.openapi3(
    name = "my_spec",
    # Note: references to schemas in `file` are resolved relative to file's location.
    file = SPEC,
    host = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com",
    # header_authorization = "Bearer {}".format(monkey.env("DEV_API_TOKEN")),
)

# Note: exec commands are executed in shells sharing the same environment variables,
# with `set -e` and `set -o pipefail` flags on.

# List here the commands to run so that the service providing "my_spec"
# can be restored to its initial state.
monkey.shell(
    name = "example_resetter",

    # Link to above defined spec.
    provides = ["my_spec"],

    # The following gets executed once per test
    #   so have these commands complete as fast as possible.
    # For best results, tests should start with a clean slate
    #   so limit filesystem access, usage of $RANDOM and non-reproducibility.
    reset = """
echo ${BLA:-42}
BLA=$(( ${BLA:-42} + 1 ))
echo Resetting state...
    """,
)

## Ensure some general property

def ensure_lowish_response_time(ms):
    def responds_in_a_timely_manner(ctx):
        assert that(ctx.response.elapsed_ms).is_at_most(ms)

    return responds_in_a_timely_manner

monkey.check(
    name = "responds_in_a_timely_manner",
    after_response = ensure_lowish_response_time(500),

## Express stateful properties

    url = ctx.request.url

        # Ensure post ID in response matches ID in URL (an API contract):

        if post_id in ctx.state:

        print("State contains {} posts".format(len(ctx.state)))

monkey.check(
    name = "some_props",
    after_response = stateful_model_of_posts,
)

## Encapsulation: ensure each monkey.check owns its own ctx.state.

def encapsulation_1_of_2(ctx):
    """Show that state is not shared with encapsulation_2_of_2"""
    assert that(ctx.state).is_empty()

monkey.check(
    name = "encapsulation_1_of_2",
    after_response = encapsulation_1_of_2,
    tags = ["encapsulation"],

monkey.check(
    name = "encapsulation_2_of_2",
    after_response = lambda ctx: None,
    state = {"data": 42},
    tags = ["encapsulation"],
)

## A test that always fails

def this_always_fails(ctx):
    assert that(ctx).is_none()

monkey.check(
    name = "always_fails",
    after_response = this_always_fails,
    tags = ["failing"],
