Building a fuzzer against the API (issue #7163) (#7210)
New testing tool for the web API.
We are calling this a "fuzzer" until a better name is suggested. This tool reads the swagger definitions of the API and parses the format of the requests and responses. The tool can generate randomized requests, which are sent to a netdata host, and then validate the json responses against the schema defined in the swagger.
A traditional fuzzer only produces a single bit of information about each test (did the target system crash). This tool verifies that the call into the API produced a valid response structure, which produces more information about the correct functioning of the host.
This current version performs a small sweep through the API calls as that is sufficient to find some incorrect response codes, and for testing the URL parser in the next issue (#7229) . A future update (in the next sprint) will add options to perform a deeper scan that brute-forces the parameter-space of the API, and combine it with our standard approach to stress-testing.
