REST Assured 4: Fundamentals
Do you have Web API integration testing to do, but are unsure which technology to choose? Try REST Assured and never look back!
What you'll learn
Automated tests undeniably benefit software projects by protecting against bugs. Web APIs need integration testing and REST Assured is the perfect solution for it. In this course, REST Assured 4: Fundamentals, you will learn how to carry out Web API testing. First, you will learn the fundamental programming concepts, such as method chaining and Fluent Interface, that underpin REST Assured. This will help you use this framework and explore it on your own. Then, you will dive into hands-on coding – how to write a variety of HTTP requests, how to validate the headers and the body of each response, as well as how to set them on your requests. Finally, you will explore a variety of useful techniques that make your experience of working with the framework more pleasant. When you are finished with this course, you will have the skills to write your own test suite of automated tests for a Web API.
