What’s the hardest part of testing an existing API from its codebase?

I m built version 1 of Sydes-test, an open-source CLI that reads backend code repo of your REST API(s) and generates its contracts, test cases converting to Postman collections. You can directly import those postman collection and run according to your hosted API location. When API code changes, you can rerun just one command for the affected API and generate new testcases.

The idea came from a simple problem: for an existing API, the contract is usually scattered across routes, handlers, validators, models, and response logic.

Sydes test - Turns backend APIs into integration tests

AI coding agents can edit code, but backend APIs are spread across routes, handlers, validators, models, and response logic. Sydes-test was inspired by the need to understand that structure before generating useful tests. This is a cli only tool, open-source and you will need LLM key to generate integration tests.
