Automata Learning EXperience (ALEX) is an extension of LearnLib that allows you run automated tests on web applications and JSON-based REST APIs using active automata learning.
Users model Selenium- or HTTP-based test inputs for their application, which are used to automatically infer an automaton model (a Mealy machine), which represents the behavior of the web application.
Make sure you have Java 8 installed on your system. We advise to use a modern web browser like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge with JavaScript enabled.
