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 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…

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 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…

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…

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…

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…

REST APIs are widely used in industry, in all different kinds of domains. An example is Volkswagen AG, a German automobile manufacturer. Established testing approaches for REST APIs are time consuming, and require expertise from…

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,…

Internet of Things (IoT) is a growing technology that relies on connected 'things' that gather data from peer devices and send data to servers via APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). The design quality of those APIs has a direct…

System-level testing of healthcare Internet of Things (IoT) applications requires creating a test infrastructure with integrated medical devices and third-party applications. A significant challenge in creating such test infrastructure is…

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…

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology paradigm where millions of sensors and actuators help monitor and manage, physical, environmental and human systems in real-time. The inherent closedloop responsiveness and decision…

The continuous testing of small changes to systems has proven to be useful and is widely adopted in the development of software systems. For this, software is tested in environments that are as close as possible to the production…

As the popularity of Internet of Things (IoT) platforms grows, users gain unprecedented control over their homes, health monitoring, and daily task automation. However, the testing of software for these platforms poses significant…

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…

RESTful APIs are central in developing interoperable, modular, and maintainable software systems in enterprises today. Also, it is essential to support system evolution, service interoperability, and governance across organizational…

REST APIs enable collaboration among microservices. A single fault in a REST API can bring down the entire microservice system and cause significant financial losses, underscoring the importance of REST API testing. Effectively testing REST…

Due to their widespread use in industry, several techniques have been proposed in the literature to fuzz REST APIs. Existing fuzzers for REST APIs have been focusing on detecting crashes (e.g., 500 HTTP server error status code). However,…
