Cloud optimized rest API automation framework

The world has adopted cloud technologies such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) and is consuming many applications deployed in the cloud. Most applications are developed using Representational State Transfer (REST) protocol. Manual testing of REST-based applications has become more difficult and less efficient since the quality cannot be negotiated on other main factors such as application performance and scalability. An effective generic automation framework which tests the functionality, scalability, and performance of REST-based applications will definitely improve quality as well as the time required to complete the test activity. The approach is very different from the normal way of automating an application. This article will explain the generic approach of REST-based applications which supports all areas of REST-based apps: GUI, RESTCLIENT, RESTAPI.
