With tight deadlines in backend development, finding time to create API tests is a challenge.
What if you could automatically generate tests from real network traffic? In this talk, I’ll show our current test automation setup in K6 and demonstrate how I leveraged GenAI to generate tests automatically by extracting network calls directly from Chrome’s dev tools. You’ll learn how to turn a GraphQL query into a test, refine prompts for complex cases, and strike the right balance between AI and scripting for scalable, reliable testing. Take away practical insights to elevate your backend test automation process.
