REST Assured Java - Creating a Book Store Application

Overview

This hands-on course guides learners through the structured development and testing of a RESTful Book Store API using REST Assured and Java. Designed for learners with intermediate Java experience, the course applies real-world case study methodology to build foundational skills in RESTful API testing. Learners will set up a Java testing project, integrate key dependencies, and demonstrate mastery over authentication workflows by generating and authorizing users via secure tokens. Through practical exercises, learners will implement core CRUD operations, interpret API responses, and evaluate end-to-end outcomes using HTTP methods and status codes. By the end of this course, learners will be able to: • Configure REST Assured in a Java environment for scalable test automation. • Construct and execute secure API requests using token-based authentication. • Perform and validate create, read, update, and delete operations for managing book data. • Analyze API test results to verify functionality and system behavior. Whether you are looking to solidify your API testing skills or work toward automation in enterprise applications, this course equips you with the knowledge to apply, analyze, and evaluate RESTful services using REST Assured.
