"Engineering leaders of modern agile teams want to reduce time to market for new features which in long run becomes the difference between successful products liked by their users and those that are not. The only blocker here is testing, where teams struggle. HyperTest gives teams the unique ability to test new features without worrying about building their own automation, and the confidence to also keep releases bug-free without slowing down development," said Shailendra Singh, co-founder and CEO, HyperTest.

The autonomous API test and observability platform HyperTest, founded in 2021 by Shailendra Singh and Karan Raina, uses network traffic to automatically generate end-to-end API tests. This eliminates the need for teams to write or maintain any test suites, as they currently do with Postman or many other open source alternatives.
