Abstract: GraphQL is a new query language for APIs that has a different structure from the commonly used REST API, making it difficult to apply conventional automated testing methods. This necessitates new approaches. This study proposes GQL-QL, an automated testing method for GraphQL APIs using reinforcement learning. The proposed method uses Q-learning to explore the test space. It generates requests by selecting API fields and arguments based on the schema and updates Q-values according to the response. By repeating this process and learning from it, efficient black-box testing is achieved. Experiments were conducted on publicly available APIs to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method using schema coverage and error response rate as metrics. The results showed that the proposed method outperformed existing methods on both metrics.
