November marks the public beta launch of Tusk Drift, our API test automation product.
We've shipped an onboarding wizard to get teams up and running on Tusk Drift Cloud within minutes, along with instrumentations for Prisma, MySQL, and Upstash Redis for our Node SDK.
On unit test generation: we've released the ability for Tusk to commit changes to test helpers/utils outside of test files. This, alongside better handling of edge cases and large PRs, means better DevEx for the whole team.
Try Tusk Drift in under 15 seconds by opening our demo repo in a GitHub Codespace.
