REST Regression Tester (RRT)

Implemented a minimalistic tool to perform regression tests between two versions of a REST API.

Bash: Proof of Concept

The proof of concept implementation is rrt.bash.

Limitations:

• All changes (also intentional enhancements) are shown as failures.
• Only supports GET requests.
• Does not support authentication.

Requirements:

$ sudo -H pip install httpie In order to run the included sample API versions, you also need sudo -H pip install flask-restful The sample APIs can be started via cd server python3 v1.py python3 v2.py

Usage

1. Fill requests.csv with your requests.
2. Adjust the values of $old and $new to the base urls of your rest API.
3. Execute the tests via ./rrt.bash
4. If you'd like to show all performed requests (not just failures), add the -v parameter
