REST Assured Configuration: Architecting & Structuring API Tests

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Architecting clean tests in REST Assured involves structuring your test code in a way that enhances maintainability, readability, and reusability, while efficiently validating the functionality and reliability of RESTful APIs. In this course, you will tackle the challenge of reducing boilerplate code in API testing for enhanced test efficiency and readability. You will learn to use REST Assured global variables and configure request and response objects to streamline your tests. You will also handle URL redirections, parameter configurations, and HTTP client settings to ensure robustness across various testing scenarios. Next, you will explore structuring your test suite through inheritance and composition to maintain a scalable and organized codebase. Then you will build a base class for shared functionality, allowing child classes to inherit and make use of reusable code in the base class. Finally, you will integrate your tests with the Maven build life cycle and set up distinct environments for development, testing, and production, ensuring that configurations remain separate and optimized for each stage.
