Research And Implementation Of Test System For REST Framework Based Application Software

REST style, which is a new framework for the development of network software, is the most successful Internet distributed hypermedia system architecture in the world. In recent years, the software based on REST framework has been used increasingly, especially in the enterprises for content collaboration by virtue of its nature. Meanwhile, the users also required high quality of this kind of software.As an important phase in software lifecycle, software testing is effective to ensure software quality, and the software developers are paying more and more attention to software testing at present. Traditional testing technology for network software focused on the UI (User Interface) layer, which is difficult to find the deep software bugs and inefficient. Since the software based on REST framework provides a standardized interface, the testing technology for it should focus on API interface layer, and introduce the advanced automation testing technology, as a result, this technology can enhance the efficiency of development for the software based on REST framework.In this paper, the current software testing technology is reviewed, including the basic testing conception, testing model, automation testing and JUnit testing framework; Then we analyze the feature of REST software, and on the basic of it we get the common testing points, testing methods and verification points; At last, we design a REST software testing system and put it into practice.
