RestFuzz - an API tester
========================

Features
--------
* Support REST json based API
* Requires a description of methods inputs/outputs
* Randomly generate inputs
* Outputs/inputs of type resources are collected and reused
* Health monitoring extract traceback from logs

Usage example
-------------

This unit test output shows example of randomly generated api call. A fake API is used, no actual request is performed::

  $ python restfuzz/tests/test_fuzzer.py

A demo server and description is also included::

  $ python demo/demo_server.py
  $ restfuzz --api demo/demo.yaml

A typical fuzzing session goes like this:

  $ ./tools/packstack_prep.sh
  $ restfuzz --api ./api/network.yaml --health ./tools/health_localhost.py --db ./neutron_$(date '+%s')
  ... ^C
  $ ./tools/read_dump.py --stats ./neutron_*
  # Based on the method that always failed, or weird return code
  $ ./tools/read_dump.py --name faulty_method ./samples/neutron_*
  # Returns all the call from this method

  # Looks for inconsistent cloud behavior using another account and then
  $ ./tools/read_dump.py ./samples/* | grep "bad_uuid"
