In industry, RESTful APIs are widely used to build modern Cloud Applications. Testing them
is challenging, because not only do they rely on network communications, but also they deal …

Service-oriented architecture has evolved to be the backbone for large-scale integration
between different applications and platforms. This concept has led to today's reality of cloud …

Modern web services routinely provide REST APIs for clients to access their functionality.
These APIs present unique challenges and opportunities for automated testing, driving the …

This paper presents RestCT, a systematic and fully automatic approach that adopts
Combinatorial Testing (CT) to test RESTful APIs. RestCT is systematic in that it covers and …

Testing RESTful APIs thoroughly is critical due to their key role in software integration.
Existing tools for the automated generation of test cases in this domain have shown great …

Automated testing approaches for RESTful web APIs typically follow a black-box strategy,
where test cases are derived from the API specification. These techniques show promising …

Abstract RESTful APIs (or REST APIs for short) represent a mainstream approach to design
and develop web APIs using the REpresentational State Transfer architectural style. Black …

Automated test case generation for web APIs is a thriving research topic, where test cases
are frequently derived from the API specification. However, this process is only partially …

Online testing of web APIs—testing APIs in production—is gaining traction in industry.
Platforms such as RapidAPI and Sauce Labs provide online testing and monitoring services …

We apply EvoMaster to eight representational state transfer application programming
interfaces; show how the tool can be used to automatically generate test cases that can find …
