HttpRunner (hrp) is an open-source, Go-based all-in-one testing framework for API testing (HTTP/HTTP2/WebSocket/RPC), load testing, and multi-platform UI automation (Android/iOS/Harmony/Browser) with LLM-powered natural language scenarios. Test cases are defined in YAML/JSON/go test/pytest formats, with plugin extensibility, HAR/Postman/Swagger/curl conversion, and single-binary cross-platform distribution.

Use cases

• run automated API regression tests from YAML or recorded HAR files
• load test HTTP endpoints with thousands of concurrent virtual users
• automate UI testing on Android and iOS devices
• generate test cases from Postman, Swagger, or curl
• integrate API testing into CI/CD pipelines
• convert test cases between JSON, YAML, and pytest formats
• drive mobile app UI tests using OCR and computer vision
• write test scenarios in natural language with LLM assistance

When to choose

• you want one tool covering API testing, load testing, and UI automation with a unified testcase format
• your team prefers declarative YAML/JSON testcases that non-programmers can maintain
• you need a single static binary with no runtime dependencies for easy CI/CD deployment
• you need cross-platform UI automation (Android/iOS/Harmony/Browser) from one API
• you want to reuse the same scripts for functional, performance, and monitoring tests

When to avoid

• you need a GUI-driven test builder rather than a CLI and code/YAML workflow
• your team is committed to a pure Python or Java testing stack (v5 is Go-only; Python moved to a separate repo)
• you only need simple ad-hoc API debugging, where Postman or curl is lighter
• you require deep ecosystem integrations specific to pytest or JMeter plugins
