Testing APIs the Hypermedia way
summary
A domain-specific test runner called hybridize DSL drives tests by starting from a given URI, following links and invoking operations described in the representation rather than hard-coded URLs, targeting Hydra/json-ld controls. It uses Eclipse Xtext and compiles to JSON for execution, can create and delete resources to set preconditions and clean up, runs against production-like APIs under development, and flags limitations: no control-flow constructs, a compile step, and scenarios that silently skip steps when preconditions already exist.
