In a method for automatically testing a service via a programming interface of the service includes, a set of operation descriptions describing a set of operations supported by the service is obtained. The set of operation descriptions includes respective descriptions of requests associated with respective operations in the set of operations and responses expected in response to the requests. Based on the set of operation descriptions, dependencies among the requests associated with the respective operations are determined, and a set of test request sequences that satisfy the determined dependencies is generated. Test request sequences in the set of test request sequences are executed to test the service via the programming interface of the service.
