Limitations & Roadmap

This page outlines the current limitations of TraceCov, features in development, and our plans for future enhancements. As TraceCov is in beta, we're continuously improving its capabilities based on user feedback.

Current Limitations

TraceCov is usable for most API testing scenarios, but has the following limitations in the current version:

  • Postman Collection:

    • File uploads are not supported
    • Form data and URL-encoded data are not fully supported

  • HAR Files:

    • Cookie data is not currently processed

  • Content Types:

    • XML payloads are not currently supported

  • Patterns:

    • Regex syntax corresponds to Rust's fancy-regex crate, which may differ slightly from other regex implementations

Work in Progress

These features are currently under active development:

  • CLI Tool:

    • MITM proxy functionality for real-time API traffic capture
    • Expected release: June 2025

  • NPM Package:

    • JavaScript integration for Node.js applications
    • Support for popular HTTP clients (Axios, Fetch)
    • Expected release: June 2025

Planned Features

The following features are on our roadmap for future releases:

  • Browser Plugin:

    • Record API calls directly from your browser during UI testing and generating reports from them

  • Reporting Integration:

    • Allure
    • TestRail

  • Advanced Filtering:

    • Selective tracking of API calls based on endpoints, methods, or patterns
