Smocha

Smocha is an http smoke tests runner focused on simplicity, readability, and speed.

In Smocha, tests are defined within yaml files called testbooks that describe an http request and the requirements for the response that comes back.

This configuration over code approach helps not only to standardize procedures and terminology across teams but also to better understand a test suite at a glance.

Smocha is written in Go and inspired by so many other projects such as Cucumber and Ansible.

Smocha is under heavy development at the moment and while we adhere to Semantic versioning there are plans to update the testbook yaml structure in the next major version. Bear this in mind when updating your Smocha binary since your old testbooks may stop working properly. Please read #6 for more details
