Enhancing White-Box Search-Based Testing of RESTful APIs
Amid Golmohammadi · 2023
Testing RESTful APIs which today are considered as backbone of the Internet is of great importance. The aim of this project is to effectively perform white-box testing of RESTful APIs by using search-based methods. We first conducted a systematic literature review to analyze the current state-of-the-art work on testing of RESTful APIs and summarize research challenges in this area. This could lead us further to the next steps which are enabling white-box heuristics for testing .NET REST APIs, conducting parameter tuning on search-based REST API testing approaches and analyzing different search algorithms for white-box test generation of REST APIs.
