Running Tests Manually

Running tests manually in Bruno allows you to quickly validate functionality and immediately view results. The most common example of this would be simply hitting an endpoint and seeing if it is working.

Running a Single Test

The smallest unit of testing in Bruno is a single request. The request itself tests the functionality of any given endpoint. You can add additional logic to requests by using the Tests tab.

To manually trigger a single test:

1. Open a Collection
2. Select the Request that you would like to run
3. Click Enter or press the send icon
4. View the results in the Tests section of the response pane

Running a Test Suite

Often times a Bruno Collection can represent a test suite of different actions or workflows of an API. You can use the Collection Runner to execute this entire suite, and also iterate through data using data driven testing.

Follow these steps to run your collection, view the results, and optionally download the test report as an HTML document.

1. Open the Bruno collection
2. Click on the Run option from the dropdown menu.

3. Click Run Collection to initiate the test.

4. Once the test run is complete, a test report will be automatically generated.

After the test report is generated, you can download it as an HTML document (report.html).

1. Click the Download Report button to save the report.

Once the report is downloaded, you can open the report.html file in any web browser to review the detailed test results.
