REST Assured API Testing: Validating JSON Responses & Schemas

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. JSON response validation checks the response data to see whether it matches expectations. Schema validation against a JSON response involves comparing the actual application programming interface (API) response to a predefined JSON schema. This process helps identify mismatches, missing fields, or data type errors in the API response, ensuring that the API behaves correctly under various conditions and conforms to its specification. Begin this course by learning how to validate JSON responses and schemas using REST Assured and how to navigate JSON responses with JSONPath, accessing and validating nested structures and collections. Next, you will uncover the pivotal role of JSON schemas in API testing, generating and applying JSON schemas to define and validate the expected structure of API responses. Then you will explore validating response types and properties, ensuring adherence to required fields, and employing schema dialects to refine your validation strategies based on the schema documentation. Finally, you will investigate advanced validation techniques, including validating nested JSON objects and arrays and validating XML responses.
