Untested API changes are one of the biggest silent killers in software — causing 60% of failures and leaving teams scrambling to fix issues late in the game. But with tight backend development deadlines, writing and maintaining API tests often feels like an impossible task. What if testing could keep up with development — effortlessly?

The Test Tribe 5th Berlin Meetup

📅 Date: February 27, 2025 (Thursday) ⏰ Time: 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM 📍 Location: N26 Bank AG, Berlin

Session Topic: From Network Tab to API Test with AI 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.

Speaker: Anaïs van Asselt Anaïs van Asselt is a quality coach and test automation enthusiast with over 10 years of experience in web and backend testing across various organizations. She collaborates closely with developers, applying a context-driven approach to sustainable test automation. Her passion for sustainability—both in QA and beyond—led her to move to Berlin in 2022 to join Choco, a startup on a mission to reduce global food waste. As one of two quality engineers at Choco, she works with product teams to embed quality-first principles within the SDLC, standardize test automation, and integrate QA solutions into CI/CD pipelines.

Data is power, but building APIs is tedious. Engineers create vital value by modelling domains and data, but waste time on repetitive plumbing tasks like CRUD, data pipelines, and cross data source joins. What if you could skip all that? With supergraph, you can. Query the supergraph with GraphQL, and get consistent features like joins, filtering, and aggregations across all data sources. Set permissions where they belong: at the model level, where they can be applied to absolutely any query. Live demo of how to build a supergraph that connects the GitHub API with a users database will be presented.
