Mockingbird: A Gray-box Testing Framework for Web APIs

This repository contains the open-source implementation and dataset for the Mockingbird project, a novel framework for gray-box testing of web APIs.

Directory Structure

This project is organized into the following directories:

• /NodeServer: The core algorithmic implementation of the Mockingbird framework. This includes the server-side logic for script interception, dynamic instrumentation, and static analysis.

• /EDEBench: A comprehensive benchmark dataset designed for evaluating web API testing tools. It includes test cases, annotated API specifications, and raw testing logs from our experiments.

• /VueDemo: A sample front-end application (built with Vue.js) used to demonstrate the capabilities of Mockingbird in a realistic setting.

• /FlaskServerDemo: A sample back-end server (built with Flask) that provides the web APIs for the /VueDemo application.

Getting Started

Please refer to the README.md file within each directory for specific instructions on how to set up and run the components. Start with /NodeServer for the main framework.

An example

• run the Vue and Flask

• change the Chrome path

• cd NodeServer and run node ede-killer.js test

  

• The logs are located in the folder /logs/test/console
