Description

Are you looking to step into the REST API automation industry with the latest technologies in the market? Are you keen to learn REST API automation using REST Assured with Java and other latest framework technologies? Interested in learning how REST APIs are automated in projects? Then this course is for you.

REST Assured is an essential API automation tool, widely used for automating RESTful APIs and web services, a staple in modern web applications. As REST APIs become increasingly prevalent in application architecture, it's crucial for QA and automation engineers to master REST API test automation. These tests are favored in projects for their speed and stability compared to web automation, aligning with the industry's significant shift towards REST API automation. In this course, we begin with Java fundamentals, progressing to practical applications in Postman Client, REST Assured, TestNG, and Maven. Our real-time REST API examples provide hands-on experience, equipping you with the knowledge of industry-standard frameworks and boosting your confidence in API test automation. The course follows the structure of explaining the concept for the beginner's level and going through the advanced framework level. In it we cover real-time APIs with framework implementation such as Twitter and Google Maps examples, and everything you need to know related to REST API manual testing and automation. By the end of this course, you'll have a detailed understanding of REST API automation frameworks. With all this knowledge gained, you should be easily able to pass Selenium automation interviews.
