It is a tool for automated testing of Alice skills (and maybe other chat bots in the future).
We shoot random requests into your bot and look how it copes with them.
The tool is written in Python, but it calls the bots through a web hook, therefore the bots can be written in any language or without language at all.
Read this in other languages: English, Русский.
To install the tool you need Python>=3.6 and the pip package manager
(or analogs).
Installation:
pip install botank
Usage:
python -m botank http://localhost:5000/alice/ -n 100 -o results.txt
When you run it like this,
botank sends to http://localhost:5000/alice/
100 Alice-like random requests into your skill,
and saves the results to the file results.txt.
