Abstract: Modern software applications, notably those utilizing microservices architectures, rely heavily on REST API technology for communication. Testing these APIs is challenging, time-consuming, and prone to errors. This paper introduces Pulse-UI, an AI-supported tool designed to enhance test sequence generation for REST APIs, aiming to reduce the workload involved in managing test sequences efficiently and improve overall test quality.
