Hi,

I'm looking for automated tool to generate test programs to test APIs.
Can someone please point me or advise me how to work on this. I'm
quite new to this java programming and testing java client APIs. I
have to write java programs which pass some values to APIs and again
the program retrieves the passed values. If the values are retrieved
then test case is passed otherwise the test case is failed. Like i
have to set some values to APIs and get them.

Thanks,
RK

Take a look at JUnit (http://www.junit.org/). It's a framework that
allows you to write unit tests; test cases for specific chunks of
functionality. It's a free tool, has documentation and tutorials on the
site and works great!
