Monitoring is an interesting area of tools too!

But I was thinking more of tooling which you’d be using before your application hits production. Anything from ensuring it can handle the expected load, verifying that API endpoints don’t behave unexpectedly when receiving garbage data, performing UI tests, to checking data sent to third-party services.

To speak in concrete terms, here are some tools **I know of** (but haven’t necessarily used) which fall into this category:

- [https://www.cypress.io/](https://www.cypress.io/) (ui testing)
- [https://k6.io/](https://k6.io/) (load testing)
- [https://citrusframework.org/](https://citrusframework.org/) (integration & end2end testing)
- _I don’t have any fuzz testing examples but there is an [awesome-fuzzing](https://github.com/cpuu/awesome-fuzzing) repo with a bunch of tools_

Is there any tool you’re using in this category, @AstonJ? 🙂
