How to Generate Test-Cases and Data Mocks for Microservices at Kernel Using eBPF
summary
Keploy uses an eBPF UProbes/KProbes agent to record kernel-level API and DB calls from live traffic and autoconvert them to runnable test cases and realistic data mocks without writing scripts. It maps headers and queries, generates virtual database responses to avoid real dependencies, emits JUnit/Jest/Go-Test–readable artifacts, and drops SDKs for language neutrality. Example: six captured requests give 66.7% coverage; claimed workflow cuts test effort ~60% while adding support for gRPC, websockets, and Helm.
