Create AI agent for api-testing (data manage module)

[LinuxSuRen]

This is a proposal for OSPO 2025.

atest is an open-source API development and testing tool. It supports Restful API, gRPC for now. It allows users to make an HTTP request and verify it in a simple way or advanced way. It's not easy for everyone to remember all kinds of useful usages. Considering AI now has the great power to understand the user requirements and take action. The AI agent should have the following features:

• Users could input their requests on the web page, and they can receive the result
  • For example, user A types 'I want to search which users have been disabled'
  • Agent will try to understand that, then return the SQL
  • User A could copy or click the confirm button to execute the SQL
• Agent should be able to support at least three types of databases
• Agent should be an extension of atest
• Agent should be published as a Docker image
• Agent should support a local deployment of AI and online service

Developers should meet the following requirements:

• Well-documented
• Enough testing (unit test, e2e)

Status

• Potential interested students: 3

https://github.com/LinuxSuRen/atest-ext-ai is my early research on this area. But you can rewrite it.

[Aditya-132]

is this issue open for working

[LinuxSuRen]

hi @Aditya-132 , thanks for asking. But this issue is only for OSPP. Please feel free to submit your application via OSPP if you are a student and interested in it.

Both @KariHall619 and @Aditya-132 are very strong candidates. The other applicants are very good, but @KariHall619 was chosen as the student for this proposal after we had a comprehensive evaluation.

第一次会议记录：

• UI 功能实现上要做好抽象，要方便后续优化、改进
• 优先把接口定义好
• 插件可以是其他语言开发，但一定要做好开箱即用。做好抽象，以便后续把 AI 插件和存储插件管理做融合
