How It Started
API Test Lab was born out of frustration. In early 2026, Abubakkar Sajid was working on multiple API-heavy projects and found himself constantly switching between different tools Postman for exploration, JMeter for load testing, separate dashboards for monitoring. Each had its own steep learning curve, opaque pricing, and interface quirks that slowed everything down.
“There had to be a better way. Modern APIs deserve a modern testing platform, built from scratch for how developers actually work today.”
Abubakkar Sajid, Founder & Lead Developer
So he started building. First for himself. Then for his team. Then for other developers who shared the same frustration. The response was immediate: 500+ beta testers signed up within weeks, with a 98% satisfaction rate and measurably faster workflows. The numbers spoke for themselves: 60% faster testing than the alternatives.
Today, API Test Lab is used by startups, SaaS companies, and growing teams to test their APIs faster, catch bugs earlier, and ship with confidence. But this is just the beginning.
Our Mission
Three core pillars that guide every decision we make.
Simplify Testing
Make API testing accessible to everyone, from solo developers to enterprise teams. No complexity, just clarity.
60% Faster
We're obsessed with speed. Our platform helps teams test 60% faster than traditional tools, proven by beta testers.
Developer First
Built by a developer, for developers. Every feature is shaped by real feedback from the people who use it daily.
Core Values
How we build and the principles we never compromise on.
Clarity Over Complexity
Testing should be simple and intuitive. No configuration nightmares, no steep learning curves. Just clarity about what is happening with your APIs.
Speed Matters
In the world of APIs, milliseconds matter. We have optimised every part of our platform to help you test faster and ship faster.
Developer First
We listen to developers. Your feedback directly shapes our roadmap. You are not just a customer. You are a partner.
Security & Trust
Your APIs are precious. We protect them with encryption in transit and at rest, following current security best practices.
