REST API Testing with REST Assured and Java

In today's software development landscape, ensuring the reliability of web services through automated API testing is an essential skill. This text-based course guides you through the process of writing reliable, automated tests using the REST Assured library in Java. You will transition from manual API testing to writing structured, automated test scripts. By reading clear explanations and studying real-world code snippets, you will learn how to send requests, validate responses, and handle complex data payloads with confidence. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational REST API concepts, HTTP methods, status codes, and headers - Configure REST Assured in your Java environment to send GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests - Extract and validate JSON response bodies, headers, and response times - Pass dynamic query and path parameters to customize your API requests - Apply modern Java features like Records to represent and serialize JSON payloads cleanly - Integrate REST Assured tests with modern assertion frameworks for readable test validation The course begins with core API testing terminology and basic setup before moving step-by-step through request construction, response assertion, and payload serialization. You will study practical code examples designed to build your skills progressively. This course is designed for beginners to API testing and Java developers looking to automate their testing workflows. No prior API automation experience is required, though a basic understanding of Java syntax is helpful. Start reading today to master the essentials of automated API testing with REST Assured.
