Method and system for monitoring rest web services

Non-transitory computer readable media comprising program code that when executed by a programmable processor causes the processor to execute a method for monitoring REST web services, the computer readable media comprising:

• program code for retrieving one or more service descriptions for one or more REST web services by a web service provider;
• program code for automatically generating one or more REST based web service calls and expected responses to the one or more REST based web service calls from the one or more service descriptions, the one or more REST based web service calls including one or more monitoring calls to create, modify, retrieve, and destroy REST resources associated with the one or more REST web services;
• program code for invoking the one or more monitoring calls associated with the one or more REST based web service calls to provide service requests to a client under various load conditions;
• program code for monitoring web services activities of the one or more REST web services via the one or more call invocations under the various load conditions;
• program code for receiving a plurality of feedback results from the monitoring of the web services activities;
• program code for aggregating feedback results and determining therefrom analytics of the one or more REST web services' ability to create, modify, retrieve, and destroy the REST resources, and responsiveness of the one or more REST web services under the various load conditions relative to service level agreements associated with the one or more REST web services;
• and
• program code for adjusting web service parameters of the one or more REST web services based on the aggregated feedback results.

A system for monitoring REST web services, the system comprising:

• a memory device having executable instructions stored therein;
• and
• a processing device, in response to the executable instructions, operative to:
• retrieve one or more service descriptions for one or more REST web services by a web service provider;
• automatically generate one or more REST based web service calls and expected responses to the one or more REST based web service calls from the one or more service descriptions, the one or more REST based web service calls including one or more monitoring calls to create, modify, retrieve, and destroy REST resources associated with the one or more REST web services;
• invoking the one or more monitoring calls associated with the one or more REST based web service calls to provide service requests to a client under various load conditions;
• monitor web services activities of the one or more REST web services via the one or more call invocations under the various load conditions;
• receive a plurality of feedback results from the monitoring of the web services activities;
• aggregate feedback results and determine therefrom analytics of the one or more REST web services' ability to create, modify, retrieve, and destroy the REST resources, and responsiveness of the one or more REST web services under the various load conditions relative to service level agreements associated with the one or more REST web services;
• and
• adjust web service parameters of the one or more REST web services based on the aggregated feedback results.
