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…
This paper presents EvoMaster, an open-source tool that is able to automatically generate system level test cases using evolutionary algorithms. Currently, EvoMaster targets RESTful web services running on JVM technology, and has been used…
Due to its importance and widespread use in industry, automated testing of REST APIs has attracted major interest from the research community in the last few years. However, most of the work in the literature has been focused on black-box…
With the ever-increasing use of web APIs in modern-day applications, it is becoming more important to test the system as a whole. In the last decade, tools and approaches have been proposed to automate the creation of system-level test…
Automated test generation has become a key technique for ensuring software quality, particularly in modern API-based architectures. However, automatically generated test cases are typically assigned non-descriptive names (e.g., test0,…
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,…
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…
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…
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…
The microservices architectural style has become the de facto standard for large-scale cloud applications, offering numerous benefits in scalability, maintainability, and deployment flexibility. Many organizations are pursuing the migration…
The Cancer Registration Support System (CaReSS), built by the Cancer Registry of Norway (CRN), is a complex real-world socio-technical software system that undergoes continuous evolution in its implementation. Consequently, continuous…
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…
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…
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…
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a communication protocol to support client-server interactions among services over a network. RPC is widely applied in industry for building large-scale distributed systems, such as Microservices. Modern RPC…
Large language model (LLM)-based multi-agent systems (MAS) show strong promise for complex reasoning, planning, and tool-augmented tasks, but designing effective MAS architectures remains labor-intensive, brittle, and hard to generalize.…
The convergence of large language models and agents is catalyzing a new era of scientific discovery: Agentic Science. While the scientific method is inherently iterative, existing agent frameworks are predominantly static, narrowly scoped,…
Test flakiness is a common problem in industry, which hinders the reliability of automated build and testing workflows. Most existing research on test flakiness has primarily focused on unit and small-scale integration tests. In contrast,…
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…
The distributed nature of microservice architecture introduces significant resilience challenges. Traditional testing methods, limited by extensive manual effort and oversimplified test environments, fail to capture production system…
