akita-flask 0.0.4

Utilities for connecting Akita to Django

Akita Flask Integration

This package extends flask.testing.FlaskClient in order to instrument Flask integration tests, capturing requests and responses to the service under test. You can drop in akita_flask.testing.HarClient everywhere you use Flasks's FlaskClient, and Akita will use your integration tests to build a spec for your service.

Why build specs? A spec shows your service's APIs. Using Akita to build specs from your integration tests makes it clear what APIs your code implements -- and you can diff specs, showing what impact a code change will have on your customers. For more info, see Catching Breaking Changes Faster in the Akita docs.

Take a look at the Akibox Flask Tutorial, which implements a toy Dropbox-like file server and tests it using the Akita Flask Integration.
