  • vscode-restclient

    REST Client Extension for Visual Studio Code

  • For a team using VSCode you can try the vscode-restclient[1]

    But really Hurl looks really interesting, being editor agnostic is the best solution for your problem, I agree.

  • restclient.el

    Discontinued HTTP REST client tool for emacs

  • Emacs enthusiasts have https://github.com/pashky/restclient.el

    I see some parallels to Hurl, but having everything inside Emacs is hard to beat, just thinking about using M-x jq-interactivly for json responses ...

  • Schemathesis

    Automate your API Testing: catch crashes, validate specs, and save time

  • hurl

    Hurl, run and test HTTP requests with plain text.

  • We've a more "classic" changelog in GitHub [1], I see the blog post as an editorial view of the changelog: highlights of main features/changes with some context.

  • postman-to-k6

    Converts Postman collections to k6 script code (by apideck-libraries)

  • Have you tried https://k6.io/ ? (Full disclosure: I'm one of the maintainers.)

    It allows you to write load/performance tests in JS, commit them to your repo, easily automate them in CI, send metrics to several backends, use protocols besides HTTP, with a modern CLI, and many more features.

    There's also a Postman-to-k6 converter[1]. The conversion might not be perfect, but it will give you a head start.

    Note that the k6 philosophy is for developers to write these tests, similarly to how you write unit/integration tests, and to break the classic QA-dev cycle.

    I don't want to steal Hurl's thunder, it does look great, but it's limited in features compared to existing peformance testing tools, and I'd personally rather write tests in a programming language, than in a bespoke text format.
