Github Repos for Testing

[heather_reid]

Just last week Chris Kenst posted a tweet asking

Chris Kenst! (ckenst)

He has subsequently released a blog post called 9 GitHub Lists for Testing.

My personal favourite is awesome-testing compiled by TheJambo. James welcomes additions to this should you have items you think have been missed from it.

Some other cool suggestions from people in the thread are:

1. Bug Magnet Chrome extension by Gojko Adzic.
2. A library called faker which generates fake data (names, addresses, and phone numbers).
3. Battery Historian a tool to analyze battery consumption on Android

I’ve not used all of the repos suggested in the blog from Chris and the replies but, so far, it’s looking like a really useful list.

Do you have any other Github repos that you think have been missed? I’m sure there are tonnes but maybe you have a go to set or one that is always open on a tab in your browser.

Also a WebDevelopersSecurityChecklist I stumbled across on Slack.

Chris has posted a new blog 18 GitHub Projects for Testing.

I’ve also stumbled across Awesome-Hacking.

Want to scan your HTTP headers for Security? Its simple. Just do this
// Install Python
// Clone or Download hsecscan from github https://github.com/riramar/hsecscan
// Once downloaded, unzip the file and save it in a location of your preference
// Open your terminal (On Mac or Windows) and navigate to the folder where you have unzipped hsecscan-master
// Run “python hsecscan.py -u http://example.com”

And then you can see the result in your terminal.

So I have created a fair few repo’s myself some to practise testing against and some to help with testing:

Repos to practise testing:

• Restful-booker: A small API to try out API testing against - https://github.com/mwinteringham/restful-booker
• Restful-booker-platform: A more advanced platform of APIs to try out different exploration techniques - https://github.com/mwinteringham/restful-booker-platform
• Simple API Monitor: An exercise to teach testers how to build a very basic API monitor - https://github.com/mwinteringham/simple-api-monitor
• Monitor tutorial: An exercise to teach testers to build custom dashboards - https://github.com/mwinteringham/monitor-tutorial

Repos to aid testing:

• Lipsum Generator: A small chrome extension that will inject a random amount of Lorem ipsum text into a focused TextBox - https://github.com/mwinteringham/lipsum-generator
• Wiremock Chrome Extension: A chrome extension that provides a UI to Wiremock - https://github.com/mwinteringham/wiremock-chrome-extension

I have put up example code for testing a REST API here (click ‘show original’ to invoke formatting):

BurdetteLamar/RubyTest/blob/master/examples/rest_api/RestAPI.md

It’s part of the larger project RubyTest:
