Build practical skills in REST API testing with REST Assured in Java through a hands-on learning experience focused on designing, implementing, and validating API test cases. This course introduces the fundamentals of REST Assured, guides you through setting up a Java testing environment, and helps you create your first automated API tests before progressing to response validation and dynamic request handling. As you advance, you will learn how to parse JSON responses, extract nested data, validate HTTP status codes and response headers, and pass query parameters to simulate real-world API requests. Through structured modules and practical demonstrations, you will develop the ability to build reliable REST API test scripts and verify endpoint behavior with confidence. Designed for testers, developers, and automation engineers, this course is ideal for anyone looking to strengthen their Java-based backend testing skills using REST Assured. By the end of the course, you will be able to construct API test scripts, interpret API responses, validate RESTful web services, and apply structured testing practices to improve API quality. If you want to develop practical REST API automation skills with Java while following a clear, step-by-step learning path, this course provides a strong foundation for modern API testing.

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.
