  • Abstract
    RESTCONF is a management protocol, based on REST principles, currently under design at the IETF. In this paper, we present our solution for automating conformance testing of RESTCONF agents. The solution takes as input the set of YANG modules supported by the agent and automatically generates test cases based on the YANG definitions. Test cases are consumed by a test execution environment, which issues requests to an agent instance and determines its conformance based on the obtained responses.
