Advance your REST API test automation skills by designing structured, scalable testing workflows with REST Assured, Cucumber, Java, and POJOs. Designed for software testers and automation engineers, this course focuses on building maintainable, behavior-driven API testing solutions. You’ll configure a Maven-based REST Assured project and implement end-to-end CRUD API tests using authentication, request chaining, response validation, and reusable data structures. You’ll then integrate Cucumber to create human-readable API test scenarios with Gherkin syntax, feature files, and step definitions for behavior-driven development (BDD). You’ll also convert JSON payloads into Java POJOs for structured request and response handling. Through practical REST API testing workflows, you’ll learn to organize test data, interpret status codes, validate responses, and improve test reusability and maintainability. By the end, you’ll be able to configure advanced REST Assured projects, automate CRUD API workflows, implement Cucumber BDD tests, and use Java POJOs for structured API data handling. Enroll to build practical skills for creating modular and maintainable REST API automation solutions.

Syllabus

Advanced Test Automation with REST Assured
- This module delves into advanced concepts of REST Assured Java by guiding learners through practical configurations, project structuring with Maven, and comprehensive end-to-end API testing workflows. It begins with foundational setup practices, including project metadata management and POM configuration. Learners are then introduced to real-world CRUD operations in REST APIs and are taught to implement robust testing strategies using authentication, request chaining, and response validations. The module culminates in dynamic handling of test data and the use of scalable patterns for automating interactions with RESTful services.
Behavior-Driven and Data-Driven API Testing
- This module introduces learners to the integration of the Cucumber framework with REST Assured for behavior-driven API testing and extends into data-driven automation through JSON to Java POJO conversion. The first half focuses on writing human-readable test scenarios using Cucumber's Gherkin syntax, implementing background setups, and structuring feature files for end-to-end API testing. The second half transitions into converting JSON payloads into Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs), enabling structured and type-safe test data management and response validation. By the end of this module, learners will have the skills to implement both BDD-driven tests and advanced data mapping techniques in REST Assured.
