Nowadays, web services play a major role in the development of enterprise applications. Many such applications are now developed using a service-oriented architecture (SOA), where microservices is one of its most popular kind. A RESTful web…

The rising popularity of the microservice architectural style has led to a growing demand for automated testing approaches tailored to these systems. EvoMaster is a state-of-the-art tool that uses Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) to…

RESTful APIs are arguably the most popular endpoints for accessing Web services. Blackbox testing is one of the emerging techniques for ensuring the reliability of RESTful APIs. The major challenge in testing RESTful APIs is the need for…

Automatically crafting test scenarios for REST APIs helps deliver more reliable and trustworthy web-oriented systems. However, current black-box testing approaches rely heavily on the information available in the API's formal documentation,…

In literature, we can find research tools to automatically generate test cases for RESTful APIs, addressing the specificity of this particular programming domain. However, no direct comparison of these tools is available to guide developers…

Mass assignment is one of the most prominent vulnerabilities in RESTful APIs. This vulnerability originates from a misconfiguration in common web frameworks, such that naming convention and automatic binding can be exploited by an attacker…

REST APIs (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interfaces) play a vital role in modern cloud-native applications. As these APIs grow in complexity and scale, ensuring their correctness and robustness becomes increasingly…

In the contemporary landscape of technological advancements, the automation of manual processes is crucial, compelling the demand for huge datasets to effectively train and test machines. This research paper is dedicated to the exploration…

Motivation: The multiple sequence alignment (MSA) problem has been extensively studied, with numerous approaches developed over recent years. With the rapid growth of sequence data, there is an increasing need for fast and accurate MSA…

Test Case Selection (TCS) aims to select a subset of the test suite to run for regression testing. The selection is typically based on past coverage and execution cost data. Researchers have successfully used multi-objective evolutionary…

REST APIs are prevalent among web service implementations, easing interoperability through the HTTP protocol. API testers and users exploit the widely adopted OpenAPI Specification (OAS), a machine-readable standard to document REST APIs.…

As REST APIs become an increasingly significant part of software systems, their validation is becoming more critical. Hence, testing and uncovering underlying issues are of utmost importance for improving software quality. However, testing…

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 recent development of many techniques and tools that…

Assessing the effectiveness of REST API tests in black-box settings can be challenging due to the lack of access to source code coverage metrics and polyglot tech stack. We propose three metrics for capturing average, minimum, and maximum…

Database Management Systems (DBMSs) are fundamental infrastructure for modern data-driven applications, where thorough testing with high-quality SQL test cases is essential for ensuring system reliability. Traditional approaches such as…

Representational state transfer (REST) is a widely employed architecture by web applications and cloud. Users can invoke such services according to the specification of their application interfaces, namely RESTful APIs. Existing approaches…

Executing large test suites is time and resource consuming, sometimes impossible, and such test suites typically contain many redundant test cases. Hence, test case minimization is used to remove redundant test cases that are unlikely to…

Modern software is increasingly built by composing APIs, elevating the API contract to a critical role. Inadequate contracts, however, lead to mismatched expectations and failures, creating a pressing need for robust conformance testing.…

Evolutionary clustering algorithms have considered as the most popular and widely used evolutionary algorithms for minimising optimisation and practical problems in nearly all fields. In this thesis, a new evolutionary clustering algorithm…

In RESTful APIs, interactions with a database are a common and crucial aspect. When generating whitebox tests, it is essential to consider the database's state (i.e., the data contained in the database) to achieve higher code coverage and…
