In Detail
REST Assured is a powerful set of APIs used to automate RESTful APIs/RESTful web services. Almost all web applications use REST APIs to communicate with the backend and it has gained a lot of popularity in modern-day application architecture. It is very important for QA/automation engineers to understand how to automate REST API tests. Automating REST API tests are crucial for projects because REST API tests are quick to run and more stable, unlike web automation. 90% of the IT industry is now moving towards REST API automation.
This course starts with how to code in Java and then moves toward learning Postman Client, REST Assured, TestNG, Maven. The examples are taken from testing real-time hosted REST APIs to understand how different components can be automated, to give you an idea of industry-level frameworks, and to give you confidence.
The course follows the structure of explaining the concept for the beginner's level and going through the advanced framework level. The one and only course on the Internet with real-time APIs with framework implementation such as Twitter and Google Maps examples, it covers everything you need to know related to REST API manual testing and automation.
By the end of this course, you'll have a detailed understanding of REST API automation frameworks. With all this knowledge gained, you should be easily able to pass Selenium automation interviews.
