Star on GitHubA practical Bruno alternative
DevTools builds flows from real traffic (HAR), maps variables automatically, and exports YAML for clean reviews and CI. Download DevTools Studio.
Where DevTools differs
- Visual flows with dependencies and assertions
- HAR → Flow tree (from your real browser session)
- YAML export for Git review
- Parallel runner with JUnit/JSON outputs
Bruno strengths
- Git‑friendly collections and local storage
- Great for request building and manual testing
- Open source, community‑driven
Head‑to‑head
| Capability | DevTools | Bruno |
|---|---|---|
| HAR → Flow | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| YAML export (reviewable) | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes (collections) |
| Visual flow builder | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Runner (CI) | ✅ Parallel by default; JUnit/JSON | ⚠️ Basic; tends to rely on scripts |
If keeping collections current is the bottleneck, Stresseur (built on the DevTools engine, in early access) generates tests that update on every PR from your real API flows.
