一句话：在真实医疗物联网应用上评估RESTest的REST API测试策略，总结失败、缺陷与经验教训。
医疗物联网应用依赖与第三方医疗应用及医疗设备通过 REST API 集成，需严格测试以保证可靠性；这种集成导致 REST API 结构复杂且相互依赖，给自动化系统级测试带来挑战。本文报告一项工业评估：将先进的 REST API 测试方法 RESTest 应用于一个真实医疗物联网应用，围绕 REST API 失败、应用缺陷与 REST API 覆盖率分析其测试策略有效性。实验选取该应用的 6 个 REST API、共 41 个 API 端点。结果表明，RESTest 在不同 REST API 中发现若干失败，覆盖率约为 56%，并识别出 9 个潜在缺陷；作者据此给出经验与教训。
Healthcare Internet of Things (IoT) applications require rigorous testing to ensure their dependability. Such applications are typically integrated with various third-party healthcare applications and medical devices through REST APIs. This integrated network of healthcare IoT applications leads to REST APIs with complicated and interdependent structures, thus creating a major challenge for automated system-level testing. We report an industrial evaluation of a state-of-the-art REST APIs testing approach (RESTest) on a real-world healthcare IoT application. We analyze the effectiveness of RESTest’s testing strategies regarding REST APIs failures, faults in the application, and REST API coverage, by experimenting with six REST APIs of 41 API endpoints of the healthcare IoT application. Results show that several failures are discovered in different REST APIs with ≈56% coverage using RESTest. Moreover, nine potential faults are identified. Using the evidence collected from the experiments, we provide our experiences and lessons learned.
