Java: Automated API Testing with REST Assured

In this course, Java Champion Angie Jones dives into the world of automated API testing with Java and Rest Assured and shows you how to ensure your APIs function flawlessly. Learn the essentials of making API requests—GET, POST, PUT, DELETE—and reinforce your understanding of API anatomy. Discover how to send supplementary data, retrieve and parse responses, and validate API outputs against expected results. Delve into handling complex response bodies, serializing request data, and deserializing responses into Java objects. Build your ability to independently test APIs, save time, and reduce manual errors. By the end of the course, you will be equipped to write reliable tests that deliver accurate validations of API interactions.
