The record

Purpose: Schemathesis generates property-based tests from OpenAPI and GraphQL schemas to find API bugs.
Test generation: It generates cases that probe boundary values, type mismatches, and constraint violations.
Response validation: It validates API responses against the OpenAPI specification.
Stateful testing: It chains API operations into multi-step workflows using links inferred from the schema.
Adaptive testing: During a run, it learns from server responses and reuses discovered validation rules, resource IDs, and authentication requirements.
Custom checks: Users can add Python checks for business rules alongside built-in checks.
Specifications: It supports OpenAPI 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2, plus GraphQL schemas.
Integrations: The maker lists a GitHub Action, Docker image, pip or uvx installation, and pytest integration.
Reports: It can export JUnit, VCR, HAR, NDJSON, JSON, and Allure reports, and save failures with curl commands for replay.
Authentication: It supports Bearer tokens, Basic authentication, and API keys, with environment variable substitution and Python hooks for dynamic flows.
Support: The maker directs users to Discord for technical support, configuration questions, bug reports, and integration examples.
Security and privacy: The privacy policy says the company uses commercially acceptable means to protect personal data but cannot guarantee absolute security.
License: The project repository states that Schemathesis is licensed under the MIT license.
Intended users: The maker presents Schemathesis for engineers testing OpenAPI or GraphQL APIs and integrating API tests into CI/CD.
