Install Total Shift Left, connect an OpenAPI/Swagger spec, generate baseline tests, and run a first CI-ready test run.
Self-host Total Shift Left on Windows using the installer—configure MongoDB, install components, verify services, and troubleshoot common issues.
Configure base URL, authentication, timeouts, and secrets so test runs are stable, repeatable, and CI-ready.
Complete first-time setup—core preferences, licensing, users, and your first project—then validate the installation with a test run.
How Total Shift Left turns your API contract into tests, coverage, and CI-ready quality gates—end to end.
Keep projects healthy over time—monitor dashboards, update settings, manage lifecycle changes, and archive or delete safely when work is complete.
Projects are the workspace for your specs, endpoints, tests, and runs in Total Shift Left—create one to start building coverage and CI-ready quality gates.
Create projects, define scope, set execution defaults, and assign permissions to establish a stable foundation for API testing in Total Shift Left.
Configure project defaults—environments, roles, integrations, and advanced options—so teams collaborate safely and runs stay consistent.
Group endpoints into features to keep large API suites organized for navigation, execution, and reporting.
Export and import projects for backups and migrations—move configurations safely between environments while sanitizing secrets and validating after restore.
Import endpoints from OpenAPI/Swagger and detect changes over time so your test suite stays aligned with the contract and avoids drift.
Create and manage endpoints under features—set URL, method, and auth so tests, executions, and reporting stay organized and consistent.
Validate endpoints against your spec with syntax, auth, schema, and performance checks—catch contract drift early with actionable reports.
Use AI-assisted generation to create baseline test cases from your API spec—speed up coverage, add edge cases, and refine results into CI-ready suites.
Create no-code test cases per endpoint, parameterize inputs, and validate status codes, schemas, and business rules with reusable assertions.
Define environments, variables, headers, and datasets so tests run consistently across dev/stage/prod without hardcoding secrets or setup.
Run a single test case against an endpoint, choose an environment, and review real-time logs and outcomes for fast debugging.
Group multiple tests into a reusable pack for batch execution—run on demand or on a schedule and use the results as a CI/CD quality gate.
Create, schedule, and monitor test run packs—run suites on demand or automatically, track status, and review outcomes across environments.
Use the Test Run Pack Wizard to build a repeatable suite—pick tests, set environments and auth, configure notifications, and schedule runs.
Use the Detailed Test Report to debug a single test—full request/response, assertion outcomes, timing, and execution logs to pinpoint root cause.
Use the High Level Test Report to summarize a run—pass/fail distribution, key timings, and a fast path to detailed logs for failed tests.
Use reporting to monitor runs in real time—inspect request/response evidence, troubleshoot failures fast, and share outcomes with stakeholders.
Use Analytics to understand reliability and performance trends—spot regressions, flaky tests, and slow endpoints, then prioritize fixes with data.
API mocks simulate backend behavior so you can test and validate workflows even when real services are unavailable, unstable, or not ready.
Workflows let you chain multiple API calls into end-to-end scenarios—model real journeys, pass data between steps, and validate multi-step business processes.
Find build and version details for support and troubleshooting—product version, environment, and update status so issues can be reproduced accurately.
Configure AI-assisted test generation—enable features, set guardrails, and manage provider/model credentials securely for consistent, schema-aware output.
Audit logs capture who did what, when, and from where—filter and export events to support investigations, compliance, and operational oversight.
Configure server connection and proxy settings so the UI, backend services, and test environments communicate securely and reliably.
Enable detailed logs for troubleshooting—choose log levels and outputs, protect sensitive fields, and follow best practices to avoid production overhead.
Configure SMTP (sending) and optional IMAP (receiving) profiles so notifications and reports are delivered reliably and securely.
Create reusable email templates for notifications and test run reports—use variables, preview output, and standardize communication across teams.
Manage and validate licensing—view status and expiry, refresh or update keys, and troubleshoot activation issues for cloud or self-hosted deployments.
Enable and secure the Public API for CI/CD and automation—control tokens, rate limits, allowed roles, CORS, and best practices.
Manage role-based access control (RBAC)—define what users can view, create, modify, and run so teams collaborate securely with least privilege.
Manage users and system settings—create accounts, assign roles, configure email/AI features, and monitor activity with audit logs and debug logging.
Define org-wide security policies for onboarding—user registration rules, default roles, and password requirements to keep access controlled and compliant.
Documentation navigation improvements, faster Help Center discovery, and minor UI fixes released in February 2026.
We can help you scope coverage, stabilize test data, and wire up spec-first testing for your pipeline.
