Build practical API testing and automation skills with RestAssured, Java, Maven, and Cucumber. Designed for learners who want hands-on experience with API testing, this course takes you from API and web service fundamentals to structured, end-to-end test automation. You’ll configure a Maven-based Java project, create RestAssured tests, and build API requests using GET, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE methods. You’ll work with JSON data using JSONPath and JSONObject, validate API interactions, and apply authentication, authorization, and parameterization techniques to strengthen your test cases. As you progress, you’ll design and execute a behavior-driven development (BDD) automation framework using Cucumber feature files and test runners. You’ll connect these techniques into a complete RestAssured API testing workflow and evaluate best practices for future test implementation. What makes this course distinctive is its step-by-step progression from API fundamentals and project setup to request handling, security, parameterization, and BDD framework execution. By the end, you’ll be able to configure RestAssured projects, create and validate API tests, and execute structured API test automation with Cucumber.

Syllabus

API Fundamentals & Setup Essentials
- This module introduces learners to the foundational concepts of APIs, web services, and the importance of API testing. It also guides the learner through setting up the development environment using Maven and Eclipse, and writing the first basic RestAssured test using JSON data structures.
Working with Requests and Responses
- This module focuses on practical API request handling including PUT, PATCH, DELETE methods, and working with JSON structures using JSONPath and JSONObject. It also covers key concepts in API security—authentication, authorization—and techniques for parameterizing test inputs.
Automation Framework and Execution
- This module walks learners through designing a behavior-driven automation framework using Cucumber, executing end-to-end API test scenarios, and reviewing the complete testing process in a structured workflow using RestAssured.
