What it does
- Git-native collections. One .tiger text file per request. Diff, branch and review them like code.
- Save values. Capture a status code, a header or a JSON path such as body.data[0].id from a response into a variable for the next request.
- Scripts & tests. Pre-request and post-response JavaScript, with tiger.test assertions that show pass or fail. Postman (pm.*), Insomnia (insomnia.*) and Bruno (bru, res, req) scripts run through a compatibility layer, inside an isolated sand
- Collection runner. Run a whole collection or folder in order, with live results, saved values passed between requests, and a stop button.
- Load test. From a request's Load test tab, send it many times with set concurrency and get min, max, average, p50 and p95 timings.
