US 2021/0240600 A1 · TEST SUITE GENERATION FROM METADATA

Abstract

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing the ability to generate unit tests for a web service from a logged interaction with the web service and an API specification for the web service. Rather than having to manually generate tests for the web service, a test developer may interact with the web service through a web browser and record a log of these interactions. The log is then matched to a definition of the API specification, and a test is created. The test developer can either run this test against the web service, or use the test as a foundation for developing and refining the test further.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

receiving, by one or more computing devices, an interaction file comprising a request from a client to an application programming interface (API) on a web service, and a response to the request from the web service;
receiving, by the one or more computing devices, a specification of the API;
generating, by the one or more computing devices, a test request to the web service based on the request from the interaction file, wherein the test request is configured to satisfy the specification of the API;
and
generating, by the one or more computing devices, a test suite comprising the test request and a constraint, wherein the constraint is based on the response from the interaction file.
