In industry, RESTful APIs are widely used to build modern Cloud Applications. Testing them is challenging, because not only they rely on network communications, but also they deal with external services like databases. Therefore, there has…

Modern web services increasingly rely on REST APIs. Effectively testing these APIs is challenging due to the vast search space to be explored, which involves selecting API operations for sequence creation, choosing parameters for each…

A common way of exposing functionality in contemporary systems is by providing a Web-API based on the REST API architectural guidelines. To describe REST APIs, the industry standard is currently OpenAPI-specifications. Test generation and…

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…

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…

Test coverage is a standard measure used to evaluate the completeness of a test suite. Coverage is typically computed on source code, by assessing the extent of source code entities (e.g., statements, data dependencies, control…

Recent developments in the world of services on the Web show that both the number of available Web APIs as well as the applications built on top is constantly increasing. This trend is commonly attributed to the wide adoption of the REST…

RESTful APIs are a type of web services that are widely used in industry. In the last few years, a lot of effort in the research community has been spent in designing novel techniques to automatically fuzz those APIs to find faults in them.…

As REST APIs have become widespread in modern web services, comprehensive testing of these APIs is increasingly crucial. Because of the vast search space of operations, parameters, and parameter values, along with their dependencies and…

RESTful APIs are an increasingly common way to expose software systems functionality and it is therefore of high interest to find methods to automatically test and verify such APIs. To lower the barrier for industry adoption, such methods…

REST APIs (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interfaces) are an indispensable building block in today's cloud-native applications, so testing them is critically important. However, writing automated tests for such REST…

Cloud high quality API (Application Programming Interface) testing is essential for supporting the API economy. Autotest is a random test generator that addresses this need. It reads the API specification and deduces a model used in the…

Healthcare Internet of Things (IoT) applications require rigorous testing to ensure their dependability. Such applications are typically integrated with various third-party healthcare applications and medical devices through REST APIs. This…

Modern software systems rely heavily on Web APIs, yet creating meaningful and executable test scripts remains a largely manual, time-consuming, and error-prone task. In this paper, we present APITestGenie, a novel tool that leverages Large…

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,…

Modern web services rely heavily on REST APIs, typically documented using the OpenAPI specification. The widespread adoption of this standard has resulted in the development of many black-box testing tools that generate tests based on…

The focus of this paper is on automating the security testing of RESTful APIs. The testing stage of this specific kind of components is often performed manually, and this is yet considered as a long and difficult activity. This paper…

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…

Most of the web services are offered in the form of RESTful APIs. This has led to an active research interest in API testing to ensure the reliability of these services. While most of the testing techniques proposed in the past rely on the…

Healthcare Internet of Things (IoT) applications often integrate various third-party healthcare applications and medical devices through REST APIs, resulting in complex and interdependent networks of REST APIs. Oslo City's healthcare…
