Functional testing of RESTful API

Question

API

Prompt the utility for functional testing of RESTful API.

I want to cover it with functional tests along chains of use cases.

For example (for an imaginary blog API), run tests related to a common context in a chain (i.e., we process the returned variables):
1. creating a user,
2. creating a post by this user
3. publishing a post
4. Adding a

comment The testing utility was Java/Groovy, and tests could also be run from the command line.

Answer 1

The choice fell on JMeter:
- Can run tests from the GUI and CLI
- Can proxy and record all interactions over the network, eliminating the need to manually type request sequences
- Has wide support for built-in dynamic languages: Javascript, Groovy, etc.
- Any test can be turned into a load test in a few clicks
