Security Testing of RESTful APIs With Test Case Mutation

arXiv:2403.03701v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The focus of this paper is on automating the security testing of RESTful APIs. The testing stage of this specific kind of components is often performed manually, and this is yet considered as a long and difficult activity.
