Ra is a test suite generator and helper library for testing APIs described in RAML.

Out of the box, Ra provides a basic, automated test suite to test the routes declared in the RAML document. It provides test helpers for augmenting these with custom tests to test application-specific logic, side effects, etc.

Ra is primarily designed to provide testing support for ramses and nefertari applications, but can be used with any WSGI-conformant, RAML-described API.

It currently depends on pytest but may be adapted for other test frameworks in the future. It works best using WebTest but doesn't require it.

Ra was the god of the sun, the most important god in ancient Egypt.
