Video Description

Basics To Advanced Level With Rest Assured, Postman, Java, TestNG, Framework Implementation From Scratch

About This Video

  • No other course covers all the topics covered in this course in such great depth. All the materials are included, including code files.
  • We start from a beginner’s level and go through to an advanced framework level. This is a single course for everything you need to know related to Rest API manual testing and automation.

In Detail

REST Assured is a powerful set of APIs used to automate RESTful APIs/RESTful Web services (just like Selenium WebDriver for Web applications). Almost all web applications use REST APIs to communicate with the back-end 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 is 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. We assume that students have no experience in automation/coding and start every topic from scratch. 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.
