Adaptive Hypermutation for Search-Based System Test Generation: A Study on REST APIs with EvoMaster
Zhang, Man; Arcuri, Andrea (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)REST web services are widely popular in industry, and search techniques have been successfully used to automatically generate system-level test cases for those systems. In this article, we propose a novel mutation operator ... -
Automated Blackbox and Whitebox Testing of RESTful APIs with EvoMaster
Arcuri, Andrea (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We apply EvoMaster to eight representational state transfer application programming interfaces; show how the tool can be used to automatically generate test cases that can find several bugs, even when using a naive black-box ... -
Building an open-source system test generation tool: lessons learned and empirical analyses with EvoMaster
Arcuri, Andrea; Zhang, Man; Belhadi, Asma; Marculescu, Bogdan; Golmohammadi, Amid; Seran, Susruthan; Galeotti, Juan Pablo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Research in software testing often involves the development of software prototypes. Like any piece of software, there are challenges in the development, use and verification of such tools. However, some challenges are ... -
Enhancing Resource-Based Test Case Generation for RESTful APIs with SQL Handling
Zhang, Man; Arcuri, Andrea (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Nowadays, many companies use RESTful web services to develop their enterprise applications. These web services typically interact with databases. In REST, resource handling is a fundamental concept, where resources are ... -
Enhancing Search-based Testing with Testability Transformations for Existing APIs
Arcuri, Andrea; Galeotti, Juan Pablo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Search-based software testing (SBST) has been shown to be an effective technique to generate test cases automatically. Its effectiveness strongly depends on the guidance of the fitness function. Unfortunately, a common ... -

JavaScript SBST Heuristics to Enable Effective Fuzzing of NodeJS Web APIs
Zhang, Man; Belhadi, Asma; Arcuri, Andrea (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)JavaScript is one of the most popular programming languages. However, its dynamic nature poses several challenges to automated testing techniques. In this paper, we propose an approach and open-source tool support to enable ... -
Model-based testing in practice: An experience report from the web applications domain
Garousi, Vahid; Keleş, Alper Buğra; Balaman, Yunus; Güler, Zeynep Özdemir; Arcuri, Andrea (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021) -
.NET/C# instrumentation for search-based software testing
Golmohammadi, Amid; Zhang, Man; Arcuri, Andrea (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)C# is one of the most widely used programming languages. However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no work in the literature aimed at enabling search-based software testing techniques for applications running ... -
Open Problems in Fuzzing RESTful APIs: A Comparison of Tools
Zhang, Man; Arcuri, Andrea (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)RESTful APIs are a type of web service that are widely used in industry. In the past few years, a lot of effort in the research community has been spent in designing novel techniques to automatically fuzz those APIs to ... -
Random Testing and Evolutionary Testing for Fuzzing GraphQL APIs
Belhadi, Asma; Zhang, Man; Arcuri, Andrea (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Graph Query Language (GraphQL) is a powerful language for APIs manipulation in web services. It has been recently introduced as an alternative solution for addressing the limitations of RESTful APIs. This paper introduces ... -
