Build practical REST API testing skills with REST Assured in Java through a structured, hands-on approach to designing, implementing, and validating API tests. Designed for testers, developers, and automation engineers, this course helps you strengthen your Java-based backend testing skills and understand how to verify RESTful web services. You’ll begin by exploring the purpose of REST Assured, configuring a Java testing environment, and creating your first API test scripts. You’ll learn to send requests and perform basic response validations before progressing to more detailed API testing techniques. As you advance, you’ll parse JSON responses, extract nested values, validate HTTP status codes and response headers, and use query parameters to simulate dynamic API calls. Practical demonstrations and test case construction help you apply these techniques to REST API testing scenarios. What makes this course distinctive is its step-by-step progression from REST Assured setup to response validation and dynamic request handling. By the end, you’ll be able to construct REST Assured test scripts, interpret JSON responses, validate API behavior, and apply structured testing practices to RESTful services. Enroll to build a practical foundation in REST API automation with Java and REST Assured.

Syllabus

Getting Started with REST Assured Java
- This module introduces learners to the fundamentals of REST Assured, a powerful Java-based library for testing RESTful web services. Learners will begin with understanding the course structure and the role of REST Assured in API testing. The module also guides them through setting up their development environment, installing necessary dependencies, and writing their first API test cases. By the end of this module, learners will be equipped to initiate test scripts and perform basic validations using REST Assured.
Working with REST APIs using REST Assured Java
- This module dives deeper into the practical capabilities of REST Assured by focusing on extracting and validating API response data. Learners will explore how to parse and read JSON content, assert status codes, validate headers, and effectively use query parameters to simulate real-world testing scenarios. Through hands-on demonstrations and test case construction, learners will enhance their ability to test RESTful services with precision and clarity.
