AutoRestTest at the SBFT 2026 Tool Competition
Abstract
Large input spaces and complex inter-operation dependencies make black-box REST API testing challenging. AutoRestTest combines a Semantic Property Dependency Graph, multi-agent reinforcement learning, and large language models to intelligently explore large API input spaces. In the SBFT 2026 REST League, AutoRestTest ranked first in all three evaluation categories -- fault detection, overall efficiency, and overall effectiveness -- on 11 APIs (317 operations, approximately 29 per API), averaging 67.09 unique server errors and 17.27 successfully processed operations per API under a one-hour testing budget.
