Openapi Drift
Routes defined in code missing from openapi.yaml, and spec paths with no matching handler.
One of 122 modules in the GateTest scan suite. Catches the issue before it reaches code review, and on paid tiers opens a pull request with the fix already written.

Why we catch it
Pulls bad-process bugs out of CI before they cost a 90-minute review.
The Openapi Drift module sits in this category alongside 6 related modules. Together they form one of the layers of a GateTest scan — checks fire in parallel, findings cluster by root cause, and on paid tiers the AI auto-fix loop reads each finding, writes the fix, validates against the scanner, and opens a PR.
How GateTest covers openapi drift
- Runs on every Full scan and above. Full ($99), Scan + Fix ($199) and Forensic ($399) — every repository tier except Quick ($29), which runs only 4 modules. No additional configuration.
- Free CLI.
npm i -g @gatetest/cli && gatetest --module openapiDriftagainst any local repo. No paywall on the scanning itself. - AI auto-fix PR. Scan + Fix tier opens a pull request with the fix, a regression test, and a pair-review by a second AI reviewer. Forensic Scan tier adds per-finding diagnosis and cross-finding attack-chain correlation.
- Honest confidence rating. Findings come with high / medium / low confidence so noisy patterns don't block the gate. The confidence-calibrator trainer reads customer suppressions and tightens rules over time.
