This graduation assignment is part of the graduation project Sustainable Public Integrated Transport Solution ( SPITS ). With this project we are committed to offering travelers the ideal travel experience solution, making public transport much more accessible and a lot more sustainable.

The TOMP Working Group aims to develop and sustain an internationally managed, interoperable open standard for technical communications between carriers and MaaS providers through definition, improvement, alignment and dissemination. A challenge with this API standard is that public transport operators (PTOs) facilitate transport in very different ways.

For example, think of:

• working with timetables
• on-demand travel, such as taxis or buses
• shareable scooters

So there may be very different implementations of the APIs that behave differently than you would expect based on the OpenAPI documentation put forward by TOMP. But how do you validate a TOMP API implementation with AI with the result, or score, how well the implementation behaves against the specification.

The assignment

During this graduation assignment you will investigate whether and how we can use AI to test an API based on an OpenAPI specification. This does not necessarily have to be a TOMP API.

• Use Natural Language Processing (NLP) to extract relevant information from API specifications.
• Generate test data for the APIs (for example based on other open standards).
• Generate automatic tests for the APIs by combining the extracted API information with the generated test data.
• Validate the conformance of the tested API with the existing API specification.
