I need to test few RESTful services,
Not sure what is the best tool to test and what else is required..
I did check SOAP UI but it requires WADL to test Restful services in SOAP UI however their is no WADL in my application.
Junit is one option I am aware looking much more simpler one..Kindly help
Thanks in advance

You can use Fiddler2
I have used Postman (a google app) to build automated tests for RESTful webservices. It's very easy to use and with the upgraded version you can build a lot of tests specific to your needs.

I have started to use Karate to test our mobile app which is using GraphQL and it is working good so far, though a bit of a learning curve for me as I am not a programmer by trade, but I need to look further into the future and be sure to find a framework that will also support our need to automate tests for our custom web applications as well. I would think Selenium would be the way to go so I am looking for a testing framework where I can test not only the GraphQL queries which our micro services/APIs are written, but also our web applications and our mobile app. We are a MS shop but if need be, as with Karate, we can venture into a different stack. Thanks!
Disclaimer: dev of Karate here.
I don't know about mobile, but teams have been successful mixing Karate and Selenium / WebDriver into a single integrated script, which is possible because of Karate's Java inter-op.
This is a Stack Overflow answer recommending the above approach and this answer is an update from the same team reporting success.
One more reason you may want to consider Karate is that it may be the only framework that allows you to re-use functional test scripts as performance tests, via Gatling integration (still in development).
Karate in my opinion is a "safe" choice as a testing framework, because it is technically Gherkin and "language neutral". This may be a surprise for those new to Karate, but it actually leans towards using JavaScript for scripting instead of Java.
Of course, it is worth mentioning that I have yet to find a framework that makes testing GraphQL as easy as how Karate does.
Selenium and Rest assured integration framework is the answer to your question. I created a test automation framework to test an ionic application which is using GraphQL api along with Rest webservices. I have used Testng and cucumber in my framework to perform web app side validations and used Rest assured along with GSON to validate the GraphQL and rest services. You can easily integrate appium in your framework along with selenium and rest assured to cater the need of mobile testing.
I'm trying to develop an automated testing suite for a REST API. I've been told that Swagger would be the right tool to use to do this.
The API is being developed using the Spring Framework.
I can't figure out how I would use Swagger to do this.
From my understanding Swagger is used to create nice API documentation.
I've looked at this Dreamfactory blog post and it looks like they've got some kind of in browser testing functionality, but I don't think its really a test suite.
I've also taken a look at ServiceStack( and cucumber) but since its another framework I don't think it would work.
This google group discussion didn't see to point anywhere in particular either.
So, does anyone know how to develop a RESTful API testbed using Swagger?
Thanks!
As the other answers have mentioned, Swagger provides a way to define and document your API endpoints, methods, responses, errors, and more. It does not do any sort of automated testing out of the box.
There are a few tools that can read a Swagger definition to created automated tests, though:
Assertible is a tool where you can import your Swagger spec to automatically create tests and assertions for every endpoint and method. You can then set up monitoring, post deployment testing, and alerts. (Read the blog Testing an API using Swagger). It has a free plan with options to upgrade for more tests.
swagger-test is an NPM package, if you're looking for something to integrate with your code. I haven't personally used it, but it does look active and useful.
Dredd is another really cool open-source tool that will automate testing your Swagger spec against a live backend. This is also a CLI too, and it works with API Blueprint in addition to Swagger.
There's others as well, because Swagger provides a good common language for API developers there's some great tools that are written on top of it.
Another answer mentioned to check out the Commercial Tools page on swagger.io, which has some more hosted services (free and paid).
Full disclosure - I'm one of the co-founders of Assertible and would love to hear your feedback if you get a chance to use it.
Swagger will let you nicely document your API, and will help you do manual, live tests with swagger-ui in that you can easily fill in arguments and see the responses through a web ui. Try the Swagger demo as an example of what I am referring to. http://petstore.swagger.io/
I have not tried this, but this might be of interest for more automated testing against Swagger definitions.

You can find a lot of software using Swagger specification for (automated) testing of your REST API on http://swagger.io/commercial-tools/. But they are not free.
Postman is great tool to test with Swagger apis. It can also store requests and responses. More details as follows
https://www.getpostman.com/docs/importing_swagger.
You might also want to look at the community tools according to languages at this page. http://swagger.io/open-source-integrations/
I have written an article on how you can generate all the test logic by using the Swagger or OpenAPI specifications. And then feed test data through excel sheets. That way your test data and test logic remain separated and in future if your Swagger spec changes then you will be able to even quickly re-sync the test logic.
We have made a RESTFUL Web services that is doing GET calls to the database currently.
I am looking for some tools that I can use to test our RESTFUL Web Services by simulating the load that we are going to have in our Production.
I just need to test the RESTFUL web services end to end response time. If we are making around 10000 calls or running it for around more two three minutes.
So what kind of testing we should do for this? And I looked into the JMeter as well but it was very confusing for me to do the testing for GET Calls of RESTFUL Web Services.
What tools we in general should use to test the RESTFUL Web Services
if your web service is java based, JMeter would be a good option.
would anyone know of a WCF testing tool, much like soapui, that can be used to make calls to federated endpoints? If there is know such tool, any ideas on how to call these services would be appreciated. One idea i had was to create a basic http binding endpoint for every service but this would produce a lot of configuration overhead. Is this or creating my own tool to call the services the best approach?
Thanks,
Andy
I want to learn doing RESTful webservices. I have surfed the web some hours and think that I have a good overview over what RESTful services are and now want to build my first service-application. I have a good small project that seems perfectly suited for doing it with a RESTful webservice.
I have seen that WCF has the ability to build RESTful webservices. My question is, if it is reasonable and efficient to write RESTful webservices with WCF or if there are better suited alternatives for writing such services in the Microsoft programing environment.
(As additional information, I already have experience in using WCF, but more in using it in a RPC-way. But I don't think that this is important for my question anyway).
WCF supports RESTful services via the webHttpBinding. This works but doesn't give you alot of control for working with the HTTP protocol itself (although some things got better in 4.0)
The next version is going to have a lot more support for RESTful services. The team are being very open about the new Web API so if you are not about to put something into production then I'd start with the new API
WCF is perfectly valid and very capable of handling REST services - you won't go wrong with that!
And there are a couple of alternatives out there, too - check them out and see which one suits your needs best:
RestSharp
OpenRasta
RestDotNet (clients only)
and probably quite a few more....
