vREST is an automated REST API Testing Tool that works as an extension for Chrome. Developed by Optimizory, this tool is designed to record HTTP requests and their responses in the vREST application.

When using vREST, the extension records the HTTP requests of the web application being tested, along with their parameters, headers, and responses. These recorded details are automatically stored as test cases in the vREST application. The extension can also be configured to filter out HTTP requests based on content type and URL pattern during the recording process.

Additionally, vREST provides a Mock Server feature that allows users to easily decouple frontend development from backend development. This feature helps in simplifying the testing process and ensuring ease of maintenance over multiple releases.

Overall, vREST is a powerful tool for testing REST APIs, offering simplicity, efficiency, and ease of use.
