REST API Automation Testing with Rest Assured

REST API Automation Testing with Rest Assured is a comprehensive course designed to equip you with the knowledge and hands‑on skills needed to automate RESTful API testing using the powerful Java library :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}. Whether you are a QA engineer, backend developer, or test automation enthusiast, this course will guide you from fundamentals through advanced usage — making API automation efficient, reliable, and maintainable.

Why This Course Matters

In modern software development, APIs form the backbone of applications. Manual API testing is time‑consuming and error‑prone — automation ensures fast, repeatable, and robust testing. By mastering REST Assured and REST API automation practices, you can accelerate release cycles, catch bugs early, and maintain high code quality even as APIs evolve. This course helps you build that capability step‑by‑step.

What You Will Learn – Course Modules

• Introduction to RESTful APIs: Understanding HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), status codes, headers, JSON/XML payloads, and how APIs work under the hood.
• Setting Up Rest Assured Environment: Installing dependencies, configuring Maven/Gradle, and creating your first Rest Assured project.
• Writing Basic API Tests: GET requests, POST with JSON body, assertions for status codes, response times, headers, and response bodies.
• Advanced Rest Assured Features: Path and JSON‑path assertions, parameterized requests, authentication (Basic, OAuth, API keys), and data-driven testing.
• Building a Robust Test Suite: Structuring tests, reusing setup and teardown logic, data-driven tests, and organizing test reports.
• Integration with CI/CD Pipelines: Running API tests automatically on build servers (e.g. Jenkins/GitHub Actions), and generating test reports.
• Best Practices & Real‑world Scenarios: Mock services, testing negative cases, rate limits, concurrency, and stable test design for evolving APIs.

Who Should Enroll

This course is ideal for:

• QA engineers seeking to automate API testing rather than rely on manual verification.
• Backend developers wanting to validate and test their RESTful services automatically.
• Test automation engineers aiming to expand their skill set into API testing frameworks.
• Anyone preparing for roles in modern Agile/DevOps teams where API reliability and automated testing are essential.

Prerequisites

A basic understanding of Java (or willingness to learn), familiarity with HTTP and JSON concepts, and a computer with Java and build tools (Maven/Gradle) installed. No prior API testing or automation experience is required.

Course Format & Duration

The course includes video lectures, practical coding exercises, and downloadable example projects so you can follow along. Estimated completion time: ~6–8 hours of content, plus additional hours for hands‑on practice and projects.

Key Benefits

• Hands‑on experience with industry-standard API automation tool (Rest Assured).
• From scratch to advanced — suitable even if you have never written API tests before.
• Reusable test suites — makes regression testing efficient and repeatable.
• Better career prospects — API automation skills are highly valued in modern QA and DevOps roles.
