evomaster 6.1.1

EvoMaster: The first open-source AI-driven tool for automatically generating system-level test cases (also known as fuzzing) for web/enterprise applications. Currently targeting whitebox and blackbox testing of Web APIs, like REST, GraphQL and RPC (e.g., gRPC and Thrift).

EvoMaster

EvoMaster is one of the oldest (2016) Web API fuzzer that is still actively maintained (see its GitHub repository).

This is not a re-write of EvoMaster from Kotlin into Python, but rather a wrapper distributed via PyPi. As a CLI application, PyPi gives to EvoMaster a better user experience compared to the cumbersome ways of distributing JDK programs.

Via PyPi, EvoMaster can be installed using:

pip install evomaster

or using pip3 if on a Mac. Once the wrapper is installed, it can be executed on the command line with:

evomaster <args>

For a list of available args options, see documentation on its GitHub repository.

One the first run, evomaster will do:

1. download the latest evomaster.jar release from the GitHub EvoMaster' release page.
2. download a suitable JDK for the host OS and architecture (e.g., Amazon Corretto).

These files are downloaded under ~/.evomaster folder. Those files take a few hundreds MBs in space.

WARNING: executing pip uninstall evomaster unfortunately does not delete the content of ~/.evomaster. You will need to delete it manually.

When evomaster Python script is executed, it simply calls something like:

~/.evomaster/jdk/bin/java -jar ~/.evomaster/evomaster/<version>/evomaster.jar <args>

To upgrade to latest release, use:

pip install --upgrade evomaster
