All Use Cases

API Testing & QA

Test every edge case without touching production

Create realistic API scenarios to test your application against any response, error, or edge case imaginable. Ship with confidence knowing your app handles everything.

The Challenge

The Challenge with Traditional API Testing

Testing API integrations is difficult. External APIs have rate limits, sandbox environments are often incomplete, and reproducing edge cases requires complex setup.

  • External API sandboxes don't cover all edge cases
  • Rate limits slow down test suites
  • Difficult to test error handling and timeouts
  • Inconsistent test results due to network issues
  • No way to test specific response scenarios
The Solution

Stage Makes API Testing Simple

With Stage, you define exactly what your API returns for each test case. No network dependencies, no rate limits, no flaky tests.

Scenario-Based Testing

Define specific scenarios for each test case.

Deterministic Results

Every test run produces identical results.

Error Injection

Easily simulate 500 errors and timeouts.

Parallel Execution

Run tests in parallel without rate limits.

How It Works

01

Create Test Scenarios

Define scenarios for each test case.

02

Configure Your Tests

Point your test suite at Stage.

03

Run with Confidence

Execute tests with predictable results.

Example: Testing Payment Processing

typescript
const scenario = await stage.createScenario({
  name: 'payment-declined',
  rules: [{
    match: { path: '/v1/charges' },
    response: { status: 402, body: { error: 'card_declined' } }
  }]
});
"We reduced our test flakiness from 15% to nearly zero after switching to Stage."
