Track 1: REST Assured Testing

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. In this track of the API Testing with REST Assured Java journey, you will recall how REST APIs function, set up a Maven project, and perform basic API tests. This foundation includes matching numeric and string objects, collections, and arrays using Hamcrest, validating API headers, and managing query and path parameters. As you progress, you will use REST Assured for response body validation, generate JSON schemas, and employ advanced validation techniques for JSON and XML data. You will develop and test APIs using various HTTP verbs and manage request and response bodies with POJOs. Comprehensive data-driven testing with TestNG and configuring authentication for secure API access are also covered. To ensure clean, maintainable code, you will adopt best practices in API testing, such as request and response logging and fault injection. Integrating API testing into CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, customizing reporting frameworks like Extent and Allure reports, implementing API mocking with WireMock, and conducting load testing using Apache JMeter are key skills that round out the comprehensive learning experience.
