It should recognize the links after their link relation (since this is the current quasi-standard) they contain.
This client should parse the hypermedia - returned by the REST webservice - in order to follow the links it contains. If you want to test a REST API, I think you should consider to build an automated client for testing purposes. This prevents duplication of business logic and makes your REST clients hard to break for example by using a different URL template or adding a new feature. REST architecture has a HATEOAS principle which says that the REST webservice should provide abstract controllers and the client should use those controllers instead of building new ones from scratch. I'd concern more about test maintainability. I mean for the basics you can use whatever you want, for example node with curl and jasmine, or anything else, that part does not really matter I think. I don't think you can use a tool designed for SOAP to test your REST API. I don't mind spending some time learning a new tool, but I need to be able to easily maintain all these APIs up-to-date.Īll that said, any other suggestions? How do you test your REST APIs out there? JMeter seems interesting, but I am not sure if it will work in such a modularized way, nor if it supports REST to be totally reliable for this.
I was thinking about using shell scripts (one script/function for each API, and then write a script to glue them together as needed), but I think it will take too much time (I am not that proficient with shell script, and curl is known to not work very well with some of our APIs).
I was looking at SoapUI yesterday and it looks promising, but some quirks are holding me back (if I edit the Resource, I have to delete and create all tests that use this resource again, to name the most annoying one - when you have near a hundred APIs to test, any change in the Resource can generate a lot of rework, and the way it uses to pass results from one test to another is bizarre - being nice here). I'd like to have blocks for each API so I can quickly build a test with the flowĪUTH -> Awards -> Messages, for example, as for Auth -> Messages -> Leaderboards. The leaderboard API can return a parameter to be used in the Awards API, and so on. This access_code should be used as parameter to the leaderboard API. Then, I must be able to order these blocks to build Functional Tests.įor example: I have an Auth API that accepts user/password as parameter and returns an access_code. What I have in mind is a tool that allows me to have several "blocks" (script, function, class, you name it), one for each API function I have in our system. Emma Raducanu is the future of humankind.I am in search of a REST functionality test suite. She is the outstanding result of the combination of Romanian talent, Chinese work ethics and British openness and sport infrastructure.Īt a time when many countries are going back to very ethnocentric models and policies, Emma is the best evidence that National identities are fading and we must embrace a geocentric mindset. The reality is that Emma is not Romanian, Chinese or British. But the British public that now celebrates her success is the same that voted Brexit with the very objective to make it difficult for East Europeans such as Emma and her father to live in the UK. Hence she is considered British by most Britons and was publicly congratulated by the Queen. Hence she is considered a Chinese hero by millions of Chinese, who seem to forget that the PRC discourages international marriages.Įmma was born in Canada but has lived most of her life and trained in the UK. She speaks fluent Chinese, as a recent video available on YouTube shows. But Emma has actually never lived in Romania.Įmma's mother is Chinese. Hence she is considered Romanian by millions of Romanians. Her name is Romanian and she speaks Romanian fluently. It is fascinating to observe the dynamics taking place around this young lady.Įmma's father is Romanian. EMMA RADUCANU AND THE ILLUSION OF NATIONSĪ new tennis champion has emerged.
