Escape relies on state-of-the-art Research & Development

Escape relies on a robust feedback-driven exploration algorithm that can explore and understand the business logic of your API. After only a few seconds, Escape can generate legitimate sequences of requests with payloads that make sense and respect the business logic of your API in a fully automated manner.

This is Escape’s key differentiator that gives it the ability to perform fast, in-depth security scanning with outstanding coverage. Escape does not require any manual configuration, input traffic data, or an agent.

This technology enables Escape’s platform to be the most dev-friendly API testing solution on the market, with significantly broader and more relevant results than the competition, faster, all while removing the hassle of manually updating tests as the API evolves.
