General

Runscope provides cloud-based and hybrid on-premises software that allows businesses to monitor, test, and debug web-service APIs.

Integrations

Runscope integrates with continuous integration and deployment platforms, such as Jenkins, [1] Amazon CodePipeline, [2] CircleCI, [3] and TeamCity. Runscope’s API methods for executing tests and checking on test status allow it to be integrated with other CI/CD tools and platforms as well. [4]

Runscope supports a variety of notification options for sending test completion and failure results. Runscope integrates with team communication platforms Slack, [5] HipChat and Flowdock. Runscope also integrates with incident management systems AlertOps, PagerDuty, VictorOps, OpsGenie and StatusPage.io.

Runscope also integrates with third-party software analytics platforms, including New Relic Insights, Keen IO and Datadog.
