API Automation Testing with REST Assured and Java

In today's software development landscape, API testing is a critical skill for delivering fast, reliable, and secure applications. This text-based course guides you through the process of automating API tests using Java and REST Assured, even if you have no prior automation experience. You will transition from manual API testing to writing clean, maintainable automation scripts. By understanding HTTP methods, response codes, and payload validation, you will gain the confidence to integrate automated tests into modern development pipelines. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational API concepts, HTTP methods, and status codes before writing any code. - Configure a structured automation project using Java, Maven, and REST Assured. - Validate complex JSON responses, headers, and cookies with assertions. - Implement Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) patterns for readable and collaborative test suites. - Manage authentication flows, including token-based security and API keys. - Integrate test suites into automated CI/CD pipelines to ensure continuous quality. The course begins with essential API and Java testing fundamentals, moving systematically into writing requests, validating payloads, and organizing your code. You will then learn how to scale your tests with BDD frameworks and run them automatically as part of a modern software delivery lifecycle. This course is designed for quality assurance engineers, manual testers, and software developers who are new to API automation and want to build a solid foundation with Java. No prior test automation experience is required. Start reading today and take your first step toward mastering automated API testing.
