REST Assured Java - Testing Employee Database

Overview

This hands-on course is designed to guide learners through the complete process of building, executing, and validating RESTful API tests using Java and REST Assured. Anchored in a real-world case study—the Employee Database API—this course enables learners to configure a robust testing environment, construct dynamic JSON payloads, and apply critical REST operations (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) through structured automation scripts. Learners will explore best practices for mapping JSON to Java POJOs, asserting API responses using Hamcrest matchers, and evaluating final test outcomes to confirm successful CRUD operations. Each module is structured with instructional clarity and reinforced with quizzes to strengthen comprehension and practical skills. By the end of the course, learners will be able to confidently develop, execute, and verify REST API automation workflows in Java, applying principles that reflect industry standards in software quality engineering.
