Enhanced and Configurable CI/CD and CLI Test runs in Akto

Introduction

Akto is the fastest and most complete way to find security flaws in your APIs. It enables developers to scan APIs in the DevSecOps pipeline using CI/CD triggers. This year kicked off with the beta launch of our CI/CD integration. Our newest updates aim to streamline and optimize CI/CD test runs further.

Select all tests for CLI run

In response to user feedback, we have refined the test selection process in our command line interface (CLI). Prior to our November update, users had the option to select and run individual tests in the CLI but didn't have the option to run all tests. Recognizing this, we implemented a significant enhancement: now, users can initiate the entire suite of tests with a single command, removing the need to select tests one by one. Learn more in the documentation here. This is one of the many updates we will be doing in the CLI test triggers.

Customize Test Results in Testing CLI

Akto allows you to view all test results while testing APIs in the CLI. We previously announced the release of our CLI testing feature. Now, our enhanced CLI testing feature offers four levels of customizable output:

1. NONE - No output file is generated, ideal for streamlined workflows.

2. SUMMARY - [Default]: Provides a concise report of executed tests and identified vulnerabilities.

3. DETAILED - The output file contains the SUMMARY and provides detailed descriptions and impacts of each test.

4. DEBUG - The output file contains DETAILED output along with the original and attempt request and response for all the API tests.
