Reporting

The CLI prints a concise summary after every run. With the --verbose flag you also get server logs grouped under each case.

Standard Output

Each suite is listed with the individual results:

📊 Test Summary:
 [✅] Login (45ms)
 [❌] Fetch profile (140ms)

Latency statistics and the overall pass count appear at the end. A non‑zero exit code indicates failures which CI systems can detect.

Verbose Mode

Enable verbose output when debugging to see request identifiers and server log lines:

npx spectest --verbose

Any console output from your server is collected and printed beneath the related test when verbose mode is on or when the test fails.

Snapshot Reports

When using --snapshot the report file contains the same pass/fail status and latency numbers. This makes it possible to compare historical runs or feed the data into external dashboards.

Continuous Integration

Add Spectest to your pipeline by executing the CLI as part of your test job. Example using GitHub Actions:

- name: Run API tests
  run: npx spectest --base-url=$URL --snapshot=reports/snapshot.json

Upload the snapshot or parse the console output to visualize results over time.
