We use Groovy and Spock for writing highly expressive BDD style tests  Unbeatable combo  Jersey Client API or HttpClient is used for handling the HTTP requests   For manual acceptance testing we use Curl or Chrome apps as Postman or Dev HTTP Client

We test our own with our own unit tests and oftentimes a dedicated client app

We are using Groovy to test our RestFUL API  using a series of helper functions to build the xml put post gets and then a series of tests on the nodes of the XML to check that the data is manipulated correctly   We use Poster  for Firefox  Chrome seems to be lacking a similar tool  for hand testing single areas  or simply to poll the API at times when we need to create further tests  or check the status of things

User · Answer

Postman in the chrome store is simple but powerful

If you re just testing your APIs manually  we ve found RestClient 2 3 or the Poster add-on for Firefox to be pretty helpful   Both of these let you build requests that GET  PUT  POST  or DELETE   You can save these requests to rerun later   For simple automated testing try the Linux  or Cygwin   curl  command in a shell script   From something more industrial strength you can move up to Apache JMeter   JMeter is great for load testing   31 October 2014  HTTPRequester is now a better choice for Firefox   July 2015  Postman is a good choice for Chrome
